Athletes with disabilities navigate a landscape of unique challenges: limited infrastructure, scarce resources, financial uncertainty, and pervasive social barriers, all alongside the physical and mental demands of elite sport. These pressures can heighten vulnerability to burnout, anxiety, depression, and other psychological risks. Yet, narratives reveal remarkable resilience, determination, and adaptive coping strategies that emerge through lived experience. This paper highlights the critical role of managers, coaches, and technical staff in shaping environments that sustain mental health and performance. By leveraging emotional intelligence, participatory decision-making, ethical reasoning, and cognitive management during crises, leaders can foster cohesion, motivation, and psychological safety. We advocate embedding structured psychological-care protocols within managerial practices, supported by interdisciplinary collaboration with sport psychologists. Synthesizing empirical findings and first-hand accounts, this study presents actionable strategies for optimizing both competitive success and quality of life, emphasizing that holistic, informed management is pivotal to empowering elite athletes with disabilities while safeguarding their well-being.
