In Psychology the term resilience became a important concept, by investigating as some children, even living in hostile environments, are able to surpass the difficulties and present suitable standards of normality, and be considered resilients (Poletto & Koller, 2002). The objective of this research was to investigate how the sportive practice can be a activity potentially promoter of resilience. The present work has been developed with 11 participants of an institution located in a town of the State of Sao Paulo - Brazil, that teaches athletics. It was used an instrument called Five Fields Map (Samuelson, Therlund & Ringstron, 1996) that evaluates the social and affective support net, associated to a half-structuralized interview. The results had pointed that the field referring to the athletics project was the one that got the biggest number of mentioned people and the biggest Factor of Proximity. It was also identified that the majority of the participants considers the coaches and their colleagues of the project very close to itself. The qualitative data had shown many other contributions of the sport, like the acceptance of their bodies, the increase of self-esteem, self-confidence, motivation and the social abilities, attributed a social function, the occupation of the idle time, the change of the life habits and the establishment of goals for their lives.
