As sport courage has become a prominent and strategic psychological concept in the success of athletes this study aimed to qualitatively investigate sport courage among Iranian wrestlers using the thematic analysis method. The research was conducted in April, May, and June 2023 in Sari City. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with Iranian wrestlers. Snowball sampling was used to facilitate communication with champion wrestlers. In total, seventeen basic themes, five organizing themes, and one Global theme were categorized. The Global theme was sports courage, which includes the organizing themes of transcendence, assertiveness, skill, self-regulation, and altruism. The theme of transcendence, which focuses on progress and self-improvement, includes the basic themes (originality, austerity, trust in God, and death awareness). The theme of assertiveness focuses on basic themes (decisiveness, subjectivity, responsibility, and self-confidence). The theme of skill has emphasized the basic themes of expertise, resilience, communication, and self-talk. The theme of self-regulation has emphasized the basic themes (self-discipline and self-control ) and finally, the theme of altruism refers to the basic themes (empathy, compassion, and beneficence). The prominent role of culture and beliefs in the theme of transcendence has been the main contribution of this research. Because no other research mentioned it.
