Young Athletes Stress Management

The Project

This app is designed to support athletes to manage their emotions before competitions. Users answer a few questions, which allows the system to identify their current emotional state. Based on this, the app provides a personalized set of exercises and coping strategies based on their needs in order to help them regulate emotions and stay focused. I came up with this idea through my experience as a figure skater. I’ve met many young athletes who struggle to manage their emotions before competitions, which often affects their performance. So I started studying psychology to learn more about emotional regulation. That’s why I created this app, because I want to help more athletes around the world to manage their emotions, build confidence, and perform at their best. One major difficulty that I met is to create a system that could accurately recognize users’ emotional states. It was complex because emotions vary between individuals and situations, which making it difficult to provide a reliable and personalized plan for different users.
