PAIVA, Robério Silva de  and  VILHENA SILVA, Thaísa. Considerations about the anxiety in young athletes from stages of psychosocial development. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2008, vol.2, n.1, pp. 11-19. ISSN 1982-1247.

This review aims to consider the process of structuring the anxiety within the theory of Psychosocial Development Erik Erikson and discuss the issue of limitation of the studies of anxiety in sports. Thus, it is understood that the mechanisms of anxiety in the sporting context can influence the performance of athletes and therefore a methodology for action ahead of this phenomenon needs to be done. Thus, it discussed the need for a system of structuring of psychological training so that athletes can act with greater balance and deal with stress in the context of competitive sports.

Keywords : Anxiety; Psychosocial development; Psychological training.
