This study aims to investigate the perception and mood states of youth volleyball athletes after defeat in official competitions. A total of 483 male athletes, aged 17 to 19 years, participated in the research, all of them competing in the 2024 São Paulo State Interior League Championship. Data collection was carried out through direct and systematic observations, field notes, a sociodemographic questionnaire, and an open-ended questionnaire on mood states. The theoretical framework addressed mood states, resilience, and experiences of defeat in team sports. The methodological approach was ethnography, which allows for an in-depth and contextualized understanding of the sporting experience. Expected results suggest that defeat can trigger negative emotional reactions but also foster resilience and learning processes, depending on how athletes and teams collectively process such experiences. This study contributes to Sport Psychology by expanding the understanding of subjective aspects involved in competitive youth sports.
