In the unpredictable and dramatic game field, we often hear athletes blame their bad performances for being unable to focus, afraid of losing, nervous, worried about making faults and so on. Therefore, they cannot open their mind and do not have courage to be themselves due to the above reasons. The above reasons have a relationship with athletes’ cognition and values. Burton and Raedeke(2008) pointed out that it can change players’ behavior through changing their cognition and thoughts. The key of the study is to know the impacts of psychological distress of athletes’ performances by a long-term observation and counseling of the four judo players and do the individual mental skills training according to players’ mental distress. This study method uses the content analysis to induct and analyze. To be confidential for this study, this study utilized triangulation accompanied by two professional academic peers. The result of this study shows that the R player used positive self-talk, negative thought stopping method, focus skills, breathing control method, rational emotive behavior therapy, and pre-competition routine motor skills to cope with the pressure of losing weight, training fatigue, lack of self-confidence, crying for elimination, the pressure from coach’s high anticipation, sports injuries and other mental distress; the T player used positive self-talk, focus skills, breathing control method, rational emotive behavior therapy, and pre-competition routine motor skills to deal with pressure, lack of confidence, stomachache from pre-competition anxieties, poor emotional control due to referee’s decisions, impacts on single competition due to failure of team competitions; the S player used positive self-talk, breathing control method, and rational emotive behavior therapy to handle the feeling of losing, the pressure of championship, coach’s high anticipation, pre-competition anxieties, and negative thoughts; the J player used positive self-talk, negative thought stooping method, rational emotive behavior therapy, and pre-competition routine motor skills to cope lack of confidence, sports injuries, nervousness from key competition, poor emotional control due to falling into defeated part, and the pressure of losing weight. The analysis from the data shows that the judo players have individual differences in mental distress. The four judo players think that mental skill training can effectively handle their mental distress from competition. The coach had a positive appraisal for his players to use the mental skills training.
