Abstract This study investigated the association of resilience and hardiness with sport achievement and mental health in a sample of athletes. 139 athletes (96 males, 43 females) completed Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), Hardiness Scale (HS), and Mental Health Inventory (MHI). The athletes’ coaches were asked to rate the Sport Achievement Scale (SAS) in order to measure athletes’ sport achievement. The results revealed that both resilience and hardiness were positively associated with sport achievement and psychological well-being, and negatively associated with psychological distress. It can be concluded that resilience and hardiness can predict changes of sport achievement and mental health in athletes.
