Abstract

Psychological Skills Training (PST) has become an essential strategy in addressing anxiety and enhancing mental toughness in athletes participating in competitive sports. This systematic literature review explores the application of PST, emphasizing its role in strengthening athletes' psychological resilience and competitive performance. Anxiety, often a significant challenge in sports, can undermine focus and decision-making, negatively impacting game outcomes. Conversely, mental toughness, characterized by the ability to remain resilient and perform optimally under pressure, distinguishes successful athletes.The method employed in this study is the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, utilizing tools such as Publish or Perish and VOSviewer. Data were collected from major scientific databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, using keywords such as Psychological Skills Training, anxiety, mental toughness, and competitive sports. Further research is needed to explore the long-term impact of PST to support theoretical and practical development. Future studies should focus on personalizing PST techniques, integrating technology, investigating its long-term effects, and applying it to various populations and competitive contexts, including team and individual sports as well as sports requiring high levels of concentration. Consequently, PST can continue to evolve as a strategic tool to support athletes' performance and psychological well-being
