Interest in the study of psychological well-being (Ryff, 1989) and its relationship with coping strategies has also occurred in sports. In this study, competitive anxiety, psychological well-being and coping strategies are assessed in 213 athletes competing in four different sports. The results predict, through regression analysis, the possibility of experiencing anxiety and psychological well-being in the competitive context, regulated by the mediator of task-directed coping strategies.

Keywords : anxiety; sports psychology; competition; psychological well-being.
