 Risk and protective factors for performance anxiety in adolescent student athletes: A narrative review 
The province of Quebec has more than 600 high schools offering a Sport-études program. Student-athletes in these programs must meet performance and excellence criteria in sports and education. This double requirement raises questions about mental health, particularly the performance anxiety of these student athletes. Using a narrative review, this article provides a portrait of the risk and protective factors that have an impact on the performance anxiety experienced by adolescent student athletes. The literature demonstrates the complexity and multidimensionality of the factors associated with this phenomenon. Indeed, factors are reported in regard to the psychological and physical characteristics specific to the student athletes as well as to the influence of the various actors they encounter in their daily lives. The most studied factor is the influence of the coach. Risk factors are identified in greater number than protective factors, and those related to motivational climate and social support are found in several contexts surrounding the student athletes. This review underlines the need to consider the ecological contexts surrounding the student athlete in order to understand the sources of his performance anxiety. As the literature is still limited, future studies are needed to document the risk and protective factors of the student athlete, to identify new protective environmental factors and to deepen the understanding of the mutual and respective impacts of each of the ecological contexts on performance anxiety.
