Competing interests

: The authors declare no competing interests, while the work of the last author was supported by the János Bolyai Research Scholarship of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (BO/00436/24), the research has not received any further funding.

: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki Declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of Eötvös Loránd University (No. 2022/450-2 and 2022/450-3).

: We acknowledge that informed consent is essential for experimental research. We followed the guidelines of the ethical assessment of the Faculty of Pedagogy and Psychology of Eötvös Loránd University and implemented a randomized control trial. Receiving informed consent before the start of the study would have potentially compromised the results. Thus, we did not have informed consent at the beginning of the experiment, however, we did send out debriefing emails to all participants. This is the only way discrimination can be captured while doing no harm to participants, as they receive the exact same type of queries as they do otherwise. Our study did not involve any children, only coaches and administrators in amateur sports clubs. Participants were informed about the study after it was completed and had the option to ask question from the lead researcher.
