Traditionally, sport psychology research is interested in personal variables that optimize the performance. Nevertheless, it is known that the sports context influences as much the professional performance as personal. The aim of this research is to review all published bibliography on mutual relations between personal, contextual and performance variables over both the personal and the professional life of elite women basketball playersl. Results show that practically all reviewed research has been interested in the influence of psychological variables on the sport performance. Only we have found two studies that allude to the influence of the context as factor that affects so much the professional as personal facet of the sportswomen.
