| Summary: | Motivation obviously plays a great role in the life of each athlete. The purpose of this paper is to bring out the
importance of motivation in sport from the perspective of Self-determination theory (SDT). This theoretical review
paper demonstrates the application of Self-determination theory (SDT) in amateur sports environment and
professional athletes. Self-determination theory (SDT) postulates assumption that there is one motivational continuum
rather than individual types of motivation and that each athlete has the same basic psychological needs
that need to be satisfi ed. Our review is based not only on Self-determination theory (SDT) theory, but also on
several studies from diff erent countries and environments. The review is focused on recommendations regarding
implementation of specifi c strategies that could help athletes to improve their internal motivation in order to
reach better performance and results. |
