Abstract
This chapter examines the pivotal role of physical education and sports in enhancing emotional resilience and self-efficacy among youth, highlighting their significance in holistic development. It draws on Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory and empirical evidence to illustrate how structured physical activity cultivates resilience through controlled adversity, teamwork, and goal-setting, while also fostering self-efficacy via mastery experiences, feedback, and psychological skills training. The chapter also explores the influence of gender, culture, and socioeconomic factors, advocating for inclusive, emotionally enriched curricula. Practical strategies for educators and coaches are proposed, emphasizing emotional intelligence, supportive pedagogy, and curriculum reform to embed emotional growth within physical education, ultimately preparing students for adaptive, confident, and purpose-driven lives.
