The objective of the study is to analyze whether there is correlation between the following variables in professional soccer players: a) burnout dimensions x coping strategies; b) practice time as a federated athlete x burnout dimensions; c) practice time as a federated athlete x coping strategies. Fifty-four professional Brazilian soccer athletes from the first division of the 2018 Pará State Championship, all males, participated in the study. The mean age was 24.0 ± 3.9 years, and the mean time of practice as a federated athlete was 8.7 ± 4.2 years. Participants responded to two paper and pencil psychometric instruments measuring burnout and coping. The results show that: i) the burnout indicators were low; ii) the correlation between the dimensions of burnout and coping was significant, negative and moderate only between the dimension reduced sense of accomplishment and the strategy of coachability; iii) we did not observe correlation between the time of practice as a federated athlete and the dimensions of burnout; iv) we found a significant, positive and moderate correlation between the practice time as a federated athlete and the strategy performance under pressure. The main conclusions of the study point out that athletes with higher practice time as federated tend to present better performance under pressure, as well as the development of the strategy coachability may be opportune for athletes' sense of accomplishment.
