This study explored the sources of stress and use of coping styles among Jordanian athletes. Fifty-six student-athletes from a university in Jordan participated in this study and completed a survey to examine their stress sources and associated coping styles. The results indicated that the most common sources of stress were injury and illness, pressures of competition, referee, conflict with the coach, and spectators. Athletes identified 16 coping strategies used to manage stress. Results suggest that interventions designed to reduce stress should seek to increase the use of avoidance and approach styles to cope with stress
