| Abstract | There is growing recognition for looking at dance as a sport, and acknowledging shared experiences that dancers have with other athletes. Collegiate dance teams participate intense training, and competitions on top of their personal obstacles as student-athletes of their universities. Dancer-athletes face challenges in long hours of training, including workouts and rehearsals that require rental toughness to participate. Resilience is important to dancers because it helps them bounce back and return from the setbacks they face. The current research investigated the resilience levels of streetdance and cheerdance athletes of collegiate teams from university sports association schools. The research involved 60 participants, from 3 universities in Metro Manila. The research involved convenience sampling to obtain 30 cheerdance and 30 streetdance athletes, and an equal distribution of 15 males and 15 females per sport. Using a quantitative approach, this study utilized a questionnaire to gather relevant data. Results showed that cheerdance and streetdance exhibited moderate resilience levels, with social resources slightly above average, exhibiting stronger support systems.

Even with these differences, levels of resilience were consistent for both male and female athletes. This research's findings will provide insights to athletes and coaches to develop their strategies in fostering a team culture that promotes resilience that may improve athletic performance. |
