Abstract | This literature review examines the concept of mental toughness among youth basketball players in China, highlighting its significance within the sports domain and its implications for athlete development. Mental toughness encompasses the psychological resilience, focus, and coping strategies that athletes utilize to navigate the pressures of competition and training. With the increasing popularity of basketball in China, coupled with the country’s aim to elevate its performance on the international stage, understanding the psychological aspects of young players is crucial.The review synthesizes existing research on mental toughness, emphasizing its components, measurement techniques, and impact on performance outcomes. Studies indicate that mental toughness is correlated with enhanced performance, increased motivation, and lower anxiety levels among youth athletes. Furthermore, specific training interventions aimed at fostering mental toughness have been identified, demonstrating positive effects on young players’ ability to cope with adversity and maintain composure during high-stakes situations. Key findings reveal cultural influences on mental toughness development in Chinese youth players, including the role of parental expectations, coaching styles, and the societal emphasis on success. This review also identifies gaps in the literature, particularly regarding the longitudinal effects of mental toughness training and its integration within youth sports programs in China. Overall, this study provides valuable insights for coaches, sports psychologists, and educators, urging the incorporation of mental toughness training in athletic development programs to cultivate not only skilled athletes but also resilient individuals capable of thriving under pressure. Future research directions are proposed to further explore the unique challenges faced by youth basketball players in a rapidly evolving sports environment. |
