Aggression is a constant feature in an athlete’s life. This is because
training and too many competitions require a proactive attitude to these demands,
hence the importance to distinguish aggression and violence. The same demands
that generate aggressiveness also cause pain and injury due to excessive training
and competitions. The influences and guidance experienced in the early formation
of an athlete’s career are related to other aspects of personality like
aggression, perception of pain and effort developed during an athlete’s history
and his interaction with the environment. This study evaluated 87 adolescent
athletes from the base team of a large professional soccer club in the city of
Sao Paulo through the application of psychological assessment tests. The results
showed differences among different subgroups of adolescent athletes, as well as
differences between these results and
normative data described in the manuals of instruments used. When
comparing the results from groups of the Brazilian sample of this research with
the results of subjects included in the original German manual, the results
show much higher average scores in the sporting context.
