Abstract

The urge to compete, excel, and achieve is a universal phenomenon common to all human beings the understanding of what motivates an individual to take part in sports is the first step towards effective performance. Many physical physiological and psychological factors contribute to effective and successful performance like motives, incentives, drives, stature, environment, level of ability, personality, emotions, motivation, etc motivations with emotion are important factors affecting performance in sport. Emotions often influence motivation hence both are linked and considered together in sports performance. Selection and preference of an individual for a specific sport activity, duration of training, effort, etc., all depend upon the motivation.
