The article explores the issues of forming a psychological passport of athletes as an integral part of sports psychology. The psychological passport serves as a complex diagnostic tool that reflects the athlete’s individual psychological characteristics, such as levels of anxiety, motivation, attention, emotional stability, and self-regulation skills. In the study, theoretical and empirical approaches are combined to identify the role of the psychological passport in optimizing the training process and preparing athletes for competitions. The results highlight that creating and regularly updating the psychological passport not only allows coaches and psychologists to monitor the dynamics of an athlete’s mental state but also to develop personalized correctional programs aimed at improving performance. The findings confirm the importance of systematic psychological diagnostics in building psychological resilience, enhancing motivation, and ensuring stability in competitive activity.
