Sažetak
There is growing interest in investigating parents in youth sports. Studies are at the beginning stages concerning a more profound understanding of the complexities of the parents themselves. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to document emotional reactions of parents before, during and after their child’s sport competition while interpreting all thoughts though an Achievement Goal Theory (AGT) lens. The participants were one pair, mother and father, of a female taekwondo adolescent athlete who participated at the Croatian taekwondo junior national championship. Parents filled the ESP-40 questionnaire 9 times during 6 days. In addition, they completed two open- ended questions, one before and one after the tournament. Before the event, the father stated strong emphasis on entering the final fight while the mother answer focused on providing unconditional support to her daughter. Emotional profiling suggested that the father experienced more unpleasant than pleasant emotions during the competition while mothers’ emotions were the reverse. On non-competition days, both parents experienced mostly pleasant emotions. As an answer to an open-ended questionnaire after the competition, the father reported feeling disappointed while the mother reported feeling overall relaxed during the whole day as well as dissatisfied because she could not help her daughter in managing her mood. In summary, parents are necessary in the youth sport domain. A more complete understanding of parents will only serve to enhance youth sport worldwide. These data help move research to a more complete understanding of youth sport parent experiences.
