Description The main aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perfectionism and personality traits with perceived training load in elite adolescent athletes. We also examined the relationship between perfectionism and certain personality traits. The secondary aim was to verify the basic psychometric characteristics of used methods. The study is based on the quantitative research and Czech versions of following methods were used: BFI-44, POMS a Sport-MPS-2. We collected data from 180 athletes (M=180; age 14-19; M= 16,10). The hypothesis about the relationship between the perfectionism and personality traits were confirmed. We found weak but significant correlation between perceived load level and perfectionism (r=0,189, p<0,001), Extraversion (-0,241, p<0,001), Conscientiousness (r=-0,287, p<0,001) and Neuroticism (r=0,343, p<0,001). The relationship between perfectionism and neuroticism was also found (r=-0,176, p<0,001). There was significant difference between groups in perceived training load according to perceived training difficulty. No difference was found between athletes playing different sports. Results can be used as basis for future research or in coaching practice.
