MOTIVATION IN BASKETBALL

  ABSTRACT

Motivation is one of a basics elements in human resources management. In every organization choice and usage of a proper motivation technics is crucial for achieving the best results. In this paper I will put under consideration motivation of the individuals and its impact on the results of entire team, in context of a very specific type of organization – basketball sport club.

Motivation is a real determinant of players’ involvement, which drives them to develop technical side of skills, and prompts to work at concentration, composure and faith in their own abilities. In sport, encouragement is a key to success, and as it came out from my findings, sportsmen’s mental state is equal or even more important than their physical condition.

My objective is to approve argument that the players of Kaka are not well motivated.

Considerations taken by me do not apply to all members of the Kaka, but only players. Their features, capabilities, aspirations, achievements constitute the strength of the organization. They carry the most important organization’s goals by playing basketball, and wining matches. Other members like coach, manager, physiotherapist have their specific roles, such as supporting and taking care that everything around players is alright, so athletes can focus on playing basketball.
