Items in strategy ‘I’ describes teenagers who while in difficult situation try to rely on themselves, have high sense of influencing actions and life situations. People with ‘I’ strategy focus on solving the problem themselves; however, having problems with asking for help.

People with that approach to difficult situations avoid confrontation and do not put the blame on themselves.

Frequently they think that it is impossible to avoid difficult situations and their abilities are not good enough to handle them. Accepted definitions allowed for analysis of strategies used by teenagers to handle difficult situations on the example of young judo athletes. Gathered data was statistically processed using Excel 2006 and Statistica 7.0. Strategie
