Competitive sport environments, with physical training and competition-based psychological stressors, are inherently taxing and require constant adaptation ( Hanton et al., 2005 ). When considering stressors in sport, Sarkar and Fletcher ( 2014 ) categorized three athlete stressor domains

The purpose of the study was to conduct an in-depth examination of the stress and emotion process experienced by three sub-elite-level male cricketers over a series of five competitive performances. Using reflective diaries and follow-up semistructured interviews, the findings highlighted the impact of appraisal, coping, and emotion on performance, with perceptions of control and self-confidence emerging as variables that can influence the emotive and behavioral outcomes of a stressful transaction. Postperformance, guided athlete reflection was advanced as a valuable tool in the production and application of idiographic coping behaviors that could enhance perceptions of control and self-confidence and influence stress and emotion processes.

characteristics are not fixed, the internal load experienced by a specific athlete for a given external load may also change when these factors are modified (ie, changes in their training status, health, etc). In addition, the stress response (ie, internal load) can be influenced by other stressors (eg

For athletes, competing in elite sport can be a stressful experience. A host of studies over the past 30 years have explored stressors among elite athletes across multiple sports and a range of competition levels to better understand the demands athletes experience throughout their careers (e

Greater lifetime stressor exposure has been related to more mental (e.g., depression; Slavich et al., 2019 ) and physical (e.g., respiratory infections; Cazassa et al., 2020 ) health complaints. One population of particular interest is sport performers, given that the sporting environment imposes
