Athletic Coping Skills Inventory

The Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI) helps athletes understand how they handle pressure, stress, and challenges in their sport. It looks at mental skills like confidence, focus, goal setting, responding to mistakes, and performing under pressure. The ACSI isn’t about judging or labeling, it’s a tool to help athletes recognize their mental strengths and identify areas they can improve. By understanding these skills, athletes can train their mind just like they train their body and build consistency, resilience, and confidence in competition. The results can be used to guide intentional mental skills training and support long-term athletic development.
