It could be hypothesised that female athletes need a well-defined, progressive and individually flexible programme of psychology to manage the transitions through their careers successfully. Influences on learning can be varied and include language used in coaching, coach education, consistency of approach and an understanding of challenges and pitfalls of a high performance pathway, specifically in judo. Specifically, there can be a great deal of stress induced at the point elite athletes transition from club environments to full time training centres. In order to assist athletes with managing that stress, it is necessary to know why the stress occurs, when the stress occurs and what can either exacerbate or alleviate such stress. This research note is focussed on research literature regarding elite female judo athletes aged 14-21, their potential coping strategies and how they can manage such a major career transition successfully.
