Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the sports management program in the Samar Division, Philippines, focusing on the psychological challenges and support needs of high school athletes. Despite the program’s aim to promote overall well-being, data reveals significant mental strain among athletes, stemming from balancing academic demands with rigorous training, managing physical exhaustion, and meeting high expectations.  Limited access to training facilities further contributes to feelings of frustration and self-doubt. These stressors can negatively impact athletes’ psychological resilience, leading to feelings of unpreparedness and overwhelm, particularly during high-stakes competitions.  However, the study also highlights the importance of consistent psychological support from coaches, such as encouragement and structured feedback on performance. This support is crucial for building mental toughness and helping athletes focus on personal growth rather than solely on outcome-based results. The findings suggest that addressing the psychological needs of athletes is essential for effective sports management and the overall well-being of young athletes.
