Abstract

Elite athletes routinely face intense psychological pressure before competition, yet evidence on how they experience and regulate it remains dispersed across qualitative, correlational, and intervention research. This systematic review aimed to synthesise the sources and forms of pre-competition pressure reported by elite athletes, the coping strategies and mental skills they use, and the links between these strategies and performance readiness. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 framework and used a SPIDER-informed Boolean search of Scopus combining terms for elite athletes, psychological pressure, coping, and competition. The search identified 217 records. After removing 12 duplicates, 205 records were screened and 92 full-text reports were assessed against predefined criteria covering English-language primary empirical journal articles on elite or high-performance athletes published between 2005 and 2025. Fifteen studies were included and appraised with design-specific tools. Pressure arose from performance, organisational, and team-climate demands and was shaped more by appraisal and symptom interpretation than by anxiety intensity. Elite athletes combined imagery, self-talk, goal setting, routines, social support, and problem-focused coping, while mindfulness and hypnosis interventions reduced competitive anxiety and physiological stress. These findings support appraisal-based, individualised mental preparation. Future research should adopt longitudinal, ecologically valid, and culturally diverse designs.

Abstract

Competitive athletes perform under evaluative pressure, and competitive anxiety threatens sport performance. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are increasingly adopted in applied sport psychology, yet controlled evidence on their effects on performance and anxiety remains fragmented. This review synthesised controlled trials examining whether structured multi-session MBIs improve performance and reduce competitive anxiety in competitive athletes, and which programme characteristics accompany favourable outcomes. The review followed the PRISMA 2020 statement and a PICOS framework. Scopus was searched with a Boolean string combining mindfulness, athlete or sport, and performance or competitive anxiety terms, limited to English-language open-access journal articles published between 2016 and 2025, yielding 521 records. Eligible studies were randomised or non-randomised controlled trials of multi-session MBIs reporting objective or observer-rated sport performance or competitive or sport anxiety; single-session, uncontrolled, and non-athlete studies were excluded. Seventeen studies met the criteria. Most reported performance gains, particularly in precision and endurance tasks such as free throws, shooting, and rowing, whereas anxiety effects were less consistent and sometimes matched by psychological skills training. Sport-specific programmes lasting six to eight weeks appeared most promising. The findings support MBIs as a complementary performance tool, while larger preregistered trials with follow-up and objective outcomes are needed.
