Motivación y comportamientos adaptativos en jóvenes futbolistas

Abstract

This doctoral dissertation analyzes the motivation among youth practicing of soccer in Extremadura and the relationship with adaptative behaviours or non adaptative in this context. In fact, it splits of a cognitive perspective using as a conceptual framework the Theory of the Goals of Achievement and the Theory of Self-determination, verifying the capacity of these motivational theories to explain some behaviours such as the abandonment of the practice of the soccer, the unsportsmanlike behaviours, the attributional style of the performance, the ability perceived and the cohesion of the soccer¿s team. The outcomes obtained are very interesting and they contribute to give information about the strategies to do with parents and coaches to get greater adaptability to the sport context from the youth participating.
