Abstract
This research aims at examining the relationship among college athletes’ intention to sport continuance, the athletic identity, and grit. For this purpose, a survey was conducted using the purposive sampling method targeting the college athletes belonging to the colleges located in Chungcheongnamdo Province, and the data from 76 athletes were used for analysis. The collected data were analyzed by frequency analysis, descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlational analysis and multiple regression analysis in the PASW WIN Ver 18.0. Results obtained from this research are as follows. First, the athletic identity was found to have an impact on the intention to sport continuance. Second, among the subfactors of grit, steady effort was proved to affect the intention to sport continuance. These results verify that the athletic identity and grit are important elements for the continuance of a sport. This study is meaningful in that it has helped to understand in detail the relational characteristics of college athletes’ athletic identity, grit, and the intention to sport continuance, and in that it has provided empirical data.
