The cognitive response is an important component of the psychological
recovery from athletic injury. This study was aimed to investigate changes in the
psychological readiness to return to sport among injured athletes and to assess
how athletes’ confidence is perceived by their coaches. Participants were 13
athletes, aged between 15 and 34 years (M = 20.7, SD = 6.0) who practiced team
sports. All participants completed the Spanish version of the Injury-Psychological
Readiness to Return to Sport Scale (I-PRRS) at four time intervals during the injury
recovery process. Coaches responded the I-PPRS before returning to competition
and after competing again. Results showed that the athletes’ confidence was lower
immediately after suffering the injury and increased significantly before practice,
before competition and after competition. Athletes’ perceptions of confidence
before and after competition did not significantly differ from perceptions of their
coaches. The findings indicate that coaches are aware of the confidence levels of
athletes recovering from injury
