Abstract

Stress affects the performance level of professional athletes during training and competition, thereby decreasing their achievements. Using an individual approach, this study aimed to analyze ego state therapy to reduce stress through relaxation. A single-subject design was used to obtain data from 6 athletes with high stress through observation and administration of the Mini Stress Scale. The result showed that this therapy acts as an alternative treatment in reducing stress. © 2020 Cambridge University Press. All rights reserved.
