The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between perfectionism and resilient resources with psychological well-being, differentiating sports category, gender and experience in a sample of athletes during confinement in different countries affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. An incidental and cross-sectional random sampling method was designed (n = 583). The sample was analysed with three different instruments, evaluating perfectionism, resilience and psychological well-being patterns and comparing three groups with different levels of practice due to confinement (full reduction, moderate reduction and only access restrictions). Results show that both male and senior athletes were more organized, resistant to changes and focused their attention and efforts on their demands and potential. They were stimulated by obstacles that required more effort compared to U23, who reported higher concerns and lower organisational scores. Athletes who completely interrupted their sports dynamics showed higher indicators of perfectionism and performed worse in resilience and well-being. Despite this, age and the variability of the athletes\u2019 experiences proved to be relevant factors in an athlete\u2019s trajectory, and continued to represent a certain degree of balance in the face of COVID-19.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19105994","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,15]],"date-time":"2022-05-15T09:48:22Z","timestamp":1652608102000},"page":"5994","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Perfectionism, Resilience and Different Ways of Experiencing Sport during COVID-19 Confinement"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6640-0352","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Personality, Evaluation and Psychological Treatment, University of Granada, 18001 Granada, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8334-6581","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonino","family":"Bianco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sport and Exercise Sciences Research Unit, Department of Psychology, Educational Science and Human Movement, University of Palermo, 90144 Palermo, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4327-5744","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos","family":"Marques da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Life Quality Research Center (CIEQV), Sport Sciences School of Rio Maior, Polytechnic Institute of Santar\u00e9m, 2000-044 Santarem, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4595-3994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"G\u00f3mez-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Activity and Sport, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Murcia, 30720 Murcia, Spain"},{"name":"Campus of International Excellence \u201cMare Nostrum\u201d, University of Murcia, 30720 Murcia, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.1037\/pst0000281","article-title":"The perniciousness of perfectionism in group therapy for depression: A test of the perfectionism social disconnection model","volume":"57","author":"Hewitt","year":"2020","journal-title":"Psychotherapy"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"357","DOI":"10.1007\/s12646-012-0157-7","article-title":"Perfectionism and interpersonal sensitivity in social phobia: The interpersonal aspects of perfectionism","volume":"57","author":"Kumari","year":"2012","journal-title":"Psychol.
