Sumario:Resilience study as a critical psychological factor in competitive sports setting has been growing widely in sports psychology field. Nonetheless, few are the studies that consider its interaction with personal and contextual factors and how they may enhance or promote its construction. This paper explores within Self-Determination Theory framework, coaches’ autonomy support and athletes’ engagement and their relationship and contribute towards resilience. A whole of 177 athletes were examined (78♀), with ages between 12 and 31. Results indicate that coaches’ autonomy support and athletes’ engagement are positively associated with resilience and that some engagement dimensions are more important than others to resilience development. A line of discussion is uncluttered about athletes’ resilience development and how coaches’ autonomy support and athletes’ engagement interaction may impact protective and promotive dynamics.
