Abstract

The transition to elite sport is generally described by athletes as the most difficult and many of them confess that it failed. Motivation and expectations to become professional have an important role in this process. This study aims to explore the relationship between expectations of reaching professional status and different types of motivation stemming from Self-Determination Theory and to examine whether these expectations influence the types of motivation. The sample consisted of 478 Spanish football players competing at the highest level in the Under-18 Category. All of them answered a question about the level that they believed they would attain as footballers. They filled the Spanish adaptation of the Behavioral Regulation Questionnaire in Sport. The correlation analysis shows a positive relationship between expectations and integrated regulation and intrinsic motivation and a negative relationship between expectations and amotivation. Regression analysis shows that expectations influence positively intrinsic motivation and integrated regulations and negatively amotivation. This study shows that expectations not only influence the perception of the players on his future in football, but also influence the quality of their motivation.
