• Background: In the field of sports, controlling an individual's emotions is an essential skill for effective performance. It is therefore crucial to understand the current situation of athletes and thus provide better training and emotional regulation resources. Objective: The research aims to determine the role of athletic mental energy in psychological resilience and to reveal its relations with each other and with some variables. Methods: The study group of the research consists of a total of 462 athlete-students (age 21.36 ± 1.49 years), 138 (29.9%) females and 324 (70.1%) males. The Brief Resilience Scale and the Athletic Mental Energy Scale (AMES) were used in the study. Descriptive statistics, t-test and multiple linear regression analysis were applied for data analysis. Results: In the research findings, the positive correlation between psychological resilience and all sub-dimensions of the AMES was statistically significant. In the regression model, the significant effect of athletic mental energy on the prediction of psychological resilience was determined (F(6, 455) = 12.06, p < .001, R2 = .14). It was observed that the males' mean scores in the AMES (calmness) sub-dimension and psychological resilience were higher than those of females while females' mean scores in the AMES (motivation) sub-dimension were higher than those of males. Conclusions: In general, we suggest that athletic mental energy contributes significantly to psychological resilience. In addition, it can be said that the predictability of concentration and calmness on psychological resilience is higher than the other sub-dimensions of athletic mental energy.
