Abstract
<jats:p>As of today, motivation aimed at sports improvement and achieving high results is highly significant for those engaged in sports. Currently, educational programs in sports schools do not include tools and methods for developing sports motivation in individuals practicing a particular sport at different stages of athletic training. Consequently, coaches do not pay sufficient attention to fostering sports motivation in their athletes. This leads to a rapid decline in the sports motivation of young athletes, causing many of them to discontinue their sports activities. The purpose of the study was to develop a positive motivation for achieving success among karate practitioners at different stages of training. Research methods and organization. The study involved karate athletes from the "BUSHIDO FIGHT TEAM" club with varying levels of training: the stage of sports specialization and the stage of sports mastery enhancement. For psychodiagnostic evaluation, the "Achievement Motivation and Fear of Failure Motivation" questionnaire by A. Rean and the "Motivational Profile" test by P. Martin and S. Ritchie were used. To determine the athletes' sports achievements, the protocols of competitive and certification activities of the athletes at different stages of training were analyzed. Research results and conclusions. All groups followed a program developed in accordance with the Federal Standard for the sport of "Kyokushinkai". The training process for the experimental groups included a specially developed set of activities that were motivational in nature and conducted at specific intervals over a period of 5 months. Subsequently, a re-analysis of the protocols concerning the assessment and competitive activities of the karate practitioners was carried out. It was found that the implementation of the developed set of activities had a positive impact on motivation to achieve success in both assessment and competitive activities and can be recommended for use in the training process of karate practitioners at different stages of training.</jats:p>
