Abstract This research article investigates the critical roles of mental toughness and coping strategies in influencing the performance and overall well-being of inter-university handball players. It synthesizes existing literature to explore how these psychological constructs enable student-athletes to navigate the dual demands of academic rigor and athletic competition. A conceptual framework is proposed to examine the interplay between mental resilience, adaptive coping mechanisms, on-court performance, and psychological health within this unique population. The findings aim to underscore the necessity of integrating targeted psychological skills training and support systems into university sports programs to foster resilient athletes who can excel both academically and athletically, while maintaining optimal well-being.
