Abstract
To obtain sports performance, motivation plays a crucial role, especially in the psychological preparation of athletes. The
effectiveness of sports activity decreases when there is a minimum level of motivation or an over-motivation and increase if
there is an optimal level of motivation. The purpose of this paper is to quantify the level of motivation of the athletes,
especially those who practice sports games. In order to fulfill objectives, we used questionnaire based survey method, using
for this purpose Motivation in Sport Scale (SMS-28) developed by Pelletier et al., 1995. This allows us to investigate the
motivation of athletes and the type motivation - intrinsic motivation (three subscales), extrinsic motivation (three subscales)
and amotivation level of each athlete. Conclusions and recommendations are stated as determining the level of athlete
motivational drive generates motivational strategies for optimizing and maximizing sports performance psychological
preparation.
Keywords: Motivation, sports, questionnaire, intrinsic, extrinsic.
