Thank you for your question.
I am not a medical professional and would not be able to specifically address your question as to whether athletes experience more stress than other teenagers.
I have provided you with a number of links to articles that address the issue of stree in teenagers:
10 Tips for Managing Teen Stress
Dealing With Stress As A Teen - HealthCentral
Ten Signs Your Teens May Have An Anxiety Disorder
Signs and Warnings of Teen Anxiety in High School

I hope this information helps and good luck with your project.
