Abstract

BALBINOTTI, Marcos Alencar Abaide  and  BALBINOTTI, Carlos Adelar Abaide. Motivation and future view on the youthful tennis. Rev. bras. psicol. esporte [online]. 2008, vol.2, n.2, pp. 1-20. ISSN 1981-9145.

This paper deals with Human Motivation concerning sports. It aims to present and discuss Nuttin’s Human Motivation Theory (1980a, 1985), as well as Lens’ (1993) and Ruel’s (1987) contributions - involving future time perspective motivation notion, and motivation and Self representation, respectively, highlighting the relevance of their applications within youth tennis context. Nevertheless, such a review allowed for the exploration of possible concepts related to the motivation construct, especially regarding future time perspective and its applicability to young tennis players. The conclusion is that motivational signification, in future time perspective, is characterized by the behavior in a sequence set organized in time. The uniformity of the various researches demonstrates that long term thinking individuals privilege the future, instead of the past.

Keywords : Motivation; Future time perspective; Tennis players.
