This article deals with the issue of overtraining among eliteadolescent athletes. The aim of our study was to examine therelationship between certain personality traits, asperfectionism, extraversion, neuroticism and other Big 5 traitsand subjective perception of training load (which is one of thebest indicator of overtraining syndrome). We also focused onthe relationship between a perceived training difficulty andperceived training load too find out, if there is some kind ofintegral relationship. To collect data we used a questionnaire,which were given to adolescent elite athletes playing teamsports in a mid-season period. The results show significantrelationship between perceived training load and overallperfectionism (r=0.189, p<0.001), extraversion (r=-0.241,p<0.001), neuroticism (r=0.343, p<0.001) and consciousness(r=-0.287, p<0.001). After the closer examination we found aninteresting relation between single dimension of perfectionismand perceived training load, suggesting the contribution ofmaladaptive perfectionism on development of overtrainingsyndrome. Besides that, we differentiated athletes into twogroups, according to the level of perceived trainingdifficulty. Those, who perceived training as difficult toexhausting (M=2,19, SD=0.50) were significantly higher than lowto medium group (M=1.99, SD=0.47) in the perceived trainingload t(178)=-0.894, p=0.007. Those results extend our knowledgeof overtraining topic and can be used in coaching practice tohelp identify athletes with higher risk of overtraining, oreven prevent these states among young athletes before theyoccur. Hereby results suggest the importance of psychologicalaspects in sport preparation.

Does personality matter when we are approaching the subjective perception of overtraining among adolescents?
