  Several studies provided instruments, with the possibility to measure self-assessment and coping strategies. This study aimed to study differences in coping strategies by age groups and gender in handball players. For psychological profile the Athletic Coping Skills Inventory (ACSI-28) was applied, at elite Hungarian junior handball teams (n=288) in 2016-2017. On the scales Coping with Adversity and Freedom From worry males acquired significantly higher average values, females showed higher mean values of Goal Setting / Mental Preparation and Coachability. On Freedom from Worry, the oldest players performed the best, Coachability was highest in the youngest group. High values of Concentration were measured by playmakers, which was significantly higher than that of other offensive roles. With the results of our study, we would like to draw attention to the fact that for successful preparation, the knowledge of the athlete's coping skills and their self-knowledge are in dispensable.

  In the modern individual- and team sports the technical and tactical abilities reached their limit. To gain competitive advantage, the only choices are in the improvement of the physical and mental abilities. This advantage is gained by pushing the limitations of the human capacity, which can be an indicator for injury. In our research we will deal with the sports injuries, with in the most commonly occurrent injuries in soccer. In the first half of the article we will define the most common injuries for adult players based on international publications, and in the second part we will compare these results with the incidence in the youth soccer players from our research. With the build-up of the academy system, and with the increase of the physical requirements of the modern football, the youth players are exposed to a bigger load. In our research we will try to define the effect, and the incidence of certain injuries on the grounds of this huge load given in the growth-phase to the youth players compared to data and type experienced with adult players to find analogy or difference between them.
