This study's purpose was to structurally model the relationships between personality style and sports identity with psychological resilience in athletes with a disability. The research method was descriptive-correlational, using structural equation modeling. The sample included active athletes with a disability (club, provincial) who had experienced at least one sports injury in the past two years. Data collection utilized McCrae and Costa's Personality Questionnaire, Brewer et al.'s Sports Identity Questionnaire, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Data were analyzed using partial least squares. The findings showed that personality style has a positive and significant effect on psychological resilience. Sports identity also had a positive, significant impact on resilience. These variables explained a significant variance in resilience. Results indicate that athletes with positive personality traits and stronger sports identity have a greater ability to bounce back from difficult situations. From an applied perspective, findings can be used in designing psychological interventions to enhance resilience. Sports federations should include personality skills development.
