  • Synthesis of findings to highlight implications for athletes.

    • Main Results:

    • Early adolescence (10-15) is the 'body period' with rapid physical growth and early maturer pressures.
    • Middle adolescence (15-18) is the 'sexuality period,' emphasizing identity and social connections through athletics.
    • Late adolescence (18-22) is the 'separation period,' involving increased academic/athletic pressure and adjustment to independence.

    Conclusions:

    • Recognizing developmental phases aids in addressing adolescent athlete issues.
    • Tailored support is needed for athletes navigating physical growth, identity formation, and independence.
    • Promoting resilience through learning to manage success and failure is vital for late adolescents.
