The purpose of the study is to identify patterns in the adaptation of athletes from different sports with varying levels of emotional intelligence. Research methods and organization. Methods of analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature, psychological testing, and methods of mathematical statistics were employed. The research was conducted at a physical education university with students from intermediate years across five specializations. Research results and conclusions. Factorial structures of athletes from various specializations with differing life adaptability and emotional intelligence have been identified. It has been shown that the adaptation of athletes' lives is determined by their development, individuality of personality, and the characteristics of their relationships with reality. The overall factorial structure indicates a narrow worldview (insufficient life experience and maturity) and inadequate features of self-realization among athletes. Athletes with developed emotional intelligence are more adapted and exhibit a greater interest in life. Student-athletes with low emotional intelligence scores tend to engage in selfish behavior, leading to life problems and complicated relationships, especially when there is a low level of self-regulation.
