Abstract
In this study, we investigated the psychological profile of Premier League players in psychological and coping skills. The statistical population of the study consisted of 16 teams in the Iranian Premier League in the 98-97 season. To achieve this goal, 165 athletes (M = 25.30, SD = 11.45) were selected from Morgan table. This study is descriptive and its cross-sectional design was done by questionnaire. The Mental Health Skills Questionnaire was used to describe mental skills and the Coping Skills Questionnaire was used to describe coping skills. The results of data analysis from descriptive statistics such as frequency calculation, percentage, mean, standard deviation as well as tables and graphs showed that Premier League players have high psychological skills but their coping skills are moderate; this can be due to economic problems, family problems and other problems. Impact on athlete's psychological skills. Therefore, it is suggested that more specialized and psychological measures be taken for the success of sports teams to strengthen and improve their psychological skills.
