Regarding the effects of the context, in the will to
excel category the groups have different scores but without statistical significance (Table 3 and Figure 2). Both
volleyball groups showed a decrease in the will to excel,
but the soccer group showed a slight increase in the same
variable. A moderate effect of the context is observed. In
the will to compete, the three teams showed a decrease in
their means, following a similar trend. The decrease is
more pronounced than for the will to excel but the context
effect is not significant. The biggest decrease is shown by
the elite volleyball team, followed by the club teams.
