Abstract
Given the presence of emotional violence in sports and its negative consequences on athletes, this study aims to examine the frequency of emotional violence against athletes in the City of Zagreb and to determine how the belief in prioritizing victory affects their perseverance in training despite exposure to emotional violence and pain. Through a questionnaire, 153 athletes from the City of Zagreb assessed their exposure to emotional violence, their perseverance in training despite pain, and the belief that victory is the only worthwhile factor. The results indicate that athletes from the City of Zagreb are exposed to various forms of emotional violence. Mediation effect analysis indicates that exposure to emotional violence and willingness to endure pain correlate with the belief that only victory is worthwhile, which drives athletes to persevere in training despite pain. The results underscore the importance of shifting sports away from victory and results toward the coaching process itself.
