ÖZET
 Amaç: Sporda sorunlarla karşılabilmekte ve bu sorunlarla başa çıkma süreci yaşam becerisinden etkilenebilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda takım sporcularının yaşam becerilerinin, sportif sorunlarla başa çıkma sürecine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, aktif takım sporu yapan 95 kişi [69 (%72,6) erkek, medyan yaş 23 yıl] dâhil edildi. Katılımcıların sosyodemografik özellikleri, fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri (Cooper Anketi), yaşam becerileri (Sporun Yaşam Becerilerine Etkisi Ölçeği) ve sorunlarla başa çıkma süreci (Sportif Sorunlarla Başa Çıkma Becerileri Envanteri-26) oluşturulan formlar ile çevrim içi olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmadaki erkek katılımcıların sorunlarla başa çıkma süreci kadınlardan daha yüksekti (p=0,044). Genel iyilik hâli çok iyi olanların (p<0,001), fiziksel aktivite düzeyi yüksek olanların (p=0,020), spora yönelik yaralanma geçirmemiş olanların (p=0,029) yaşam becerisinin yüksek olduğu saptandı. Yaşam becerisi ve sorunlarla başa çıkma süreci spor branşı, eğitim durumu, beden kitle indeksine göre değişiklik göstermedi (p>0,05). Ayrıca başa çıkma süreci ile spor yaşı (r=0,243), lisans süresi (r=0,290), haftalık antrenman sayısı (r=0,220) zayıf düzeyde ilişkiliyken, yaşam becerisi ise sadece haftalık antrenman sayısı ile (r=0,251) zayıf ilişkili bulundu. Sonuç: Takım sporcularının genel iyilik hâli, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi, yaralanmalara karşı korunmasının yaşam becerilerini iyileştirmede önemli olduğunu, takım spor branşı ve ilişkili faktörlerden bağımsız olarak yaşam becerilerinin artırılmasının sorunlarla başa çıkma sürecini olumlu yönde değiştirebileceğini düşünmekteyiz.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: Problems can encountered in sports and the process of coping with these problems can be affected by life skills. Therefore, it was aimed to examine the effect of team athletes' life skills on the process of coping with sportive problems. Material and Methods: Ninety-five people [69 (72.6%) men, median age 23 years] doing active team sports were included in the study. The sociodemographic characteristics of the participants, their physical activity levels (Cooper Questionnaire), life skills (Life Skills Scale for Sport), and the process of coping with problems (Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28) were evaluated online with the forms created. Results: The coping process of the male participants in the study was higher than the females (p=0.044). It was determined that those with very good general well-being (p<0.001), those with high physical activity levels (p=0.020), and those who didn't have a sports injury (p=0.029) had high life skills. Life skills and the process of coping with problems did not differ according to sports branch, educational status, and body mass index (p>0.05). In addition, coping process was weakly associated with age of sports (r=0.243), license period (r=0.290), number of weekly training sessions (r=0.220), while life skill was only weakly associated with the number of weekly training sessions (r=0.251). Conclusion: We think that general well-being of team athletes, physical activity level, prevention against injuries are important in improving their life skills, and that increasing life skills independently of team sports branch and related factors can positively change the process of coping with problems.
