COMPETITIVE SPORT AND MOTIVATION

Ionela Cristina Nae

Marathon, 2016, vol. 8, issue 1, 90-96

Abstract: Human actions activities and behavior are determined by certain motives. Motives are psychological structures that trigger, sustain and direct an activity or behavior. A person is never under the influence of a single motive or reason but he / she is under the influence of a motivational structure. The assembly of these motives which drive actions and behavior forms motivation. In competitive sport, motivation has a definitive role because it is the base of continuous training and practice as close to the optimum as possible. Motivation in competitive sport must be viewed from an athlete perspective and his / her professional entourage (coaches, medics, psychologists, managers, etc.), as well as his / her social entourage (family, friends, etc.).
