This article reveals the results of the crisis in society and man, caused by a lack of trust and virtues. The mental emptiness and meaninglessness, fears and frustrations created by the replacement of values and the inability to clearly see the boundaries between good and evil; right and wrong, which provoke various manifestations of aggression. The purpose of the study is to establish what is the impact of sports activities on students' mental resilience, stability (emotional intelligence) and this article specifically investigates the levels of aggressive "verbal aggression" response. The results show that students from sports fitness, basketball and tennis are much more likely to exhibit verbal aggression, unlike students who play judo, where the "high" and "very high" level of verbal aggression does not exist. Women to a much greater extent exhibit verbal aggression, unlike men, probably to compensate for their physical ine power. In general, the reasons that give rise to verbal aggression can be reduced to: psychopathology – cumulation of many unresolved problems; neglect – verbal attack of thoughts associated with hate speech; social imitation; argumentative skills deficit.
