Sažetak
Renown Croatian athletes from diaspora often give many interviews where they talk about faith and religion, and the importance and stability it provides to their professional and private life. Most of Croatian athletes in diaspora keep their traditional Roman-Catholic religion, according to their homeland tradition. The reasons for this are many, and can be viewed through both family upbringing and nurture, as well as the fact that many of these athletes spent time in the Croatian diaspora communities in the countries they lived in. These communities are mostly organized by local churches and held on their premises. One of many aspects we researched through the interviews with Croatian athletes in diaspora, is what their religious practices are, why they have chosen to follow a certain religion – by personal choice or because most of their community does so.
