Abstract
Sport is always aimed at achieving the best possible results, so athletes always seek to improve their competence. This can lead to the formation of a perfectionism that is constructive. Non-constructive perfectionism can be a source of fatigue, professional deformations and burnout in athletes. The study involved 70 young athletes who practice athletics. The aim of the study is to establish the relationship between perfectionism and the parameters of the social environment in adolescent athletes. The study found that the favorable relationship with parents, their involvement in athletes’ lives and their autonomy hinder the development of non-constructive perfectionism in athletes. The focus on peers and the desire to meet their expectations, on the contrary, contribute to the formation of perfectionism. Advice of close people, trust in them, understanding on their part form the athletes’ organization and discipline. The trainer plays an important role in the life of athletes. His sensitivity and emotional support form them organization and competence. Constructive relationship with the coach reduces the criticality and concern about mistakes of athletes. Our research highlights the importance of social environment in shaping perfectionism in athletes. They can be useful to parents, coaches, psychologists in the organization of psychological support for athletes.
