Resumen

La fortaleza mental es un concepto que ha sido considerado como una característica crítica del éxito deportivo. Sin embargo, aún existen cuestiones conceptuales relacionadas con su naturaleza como rasgo y su relación con el rendimiento deportivo que permanecen sin resolver. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de esta investigación es contrastar empíricamente si los posibles cambios en la fortaleza mental y sus relaciones con las fases de competición y el rendimiento deportivo pueden sustentar la noción de la fortaleza mental como un estado o un rasgo. Un estudio longitudinal incluyó a 12 jugadores de rugby chilenos, de entre 18 y 33 años, que compiten regularmente al más alto nivel nacional. Los resultados indicaron que no hay diferencias significativas en la fortaleza mental entre las cuatro mediciones realizadas en el estudio y que la fase competitiva no predijo las propiedades de la fortaleza mental, las que perduran a lo largo de los contextos y el tiempo. Además, los datos mostraron que la fortaleza mental es un predictor importante de variables de comportamiento relevantes y del rendimiento deportivo.
