The purpose of the study is to identify differences in psycho-emotional reactions to experiencing failures, risk-taking tendencies, and mental reliability among athletes in different sports (team sports, rhythmic gymnastics, and synchronized swimming). Research methods include analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, testing (psychological reliability according to V.E. Milman's methodology, risk propensity according to A.G. Shmelev's methodology), surveys aimed at identifying characteristics of attitudes towards failure among participants in various sports, and methods of mathematical statistics (correlation analysis using Spearman's criterion, as well as mathematical analysis using the Student's t-test). Research results and conclusions. It has been found that female athletes in aesthetic sports (rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming) exhibit lower competitive emotional resilience and higher levels of anxiety during a subsequent attempt after failure compared to athletes in team sports.
