“…The authors define the achievement-motivated behavior “as self-determined behavior in the context of competitive sports, which aims to achieve competition- or task-oriented goals and which involves a high degree of self-regulation and commitment” (p. 17). 47 The idea of measuring behavior instead of self-reports is also consistent with proposals from other authors. 48,49 Therefore, we chose achievement-motivated behavior as the motivational indicator in this study.…”

“…We assessed the achievement-motivated behavior of athletes with the AMBIS-I ( A chievement- M otivated B ehavior in I ndividual S ports) coach-rating scale. 46 It consists of ten prototypical behaviors where the frequency of occurrence is estimated on a 4-point scale from 1 (= never) to 4 (= always). The coach rated each athlete individually on the basis of the behavior displayed in the past 12 months.…”

“…In order to address the aforementioned gap in research, we aimed to investigate whether considering the interaction between motivational variables and performance is advantageous for predicting the future success of high-level junior and under-23 rowers. To solve the problem with the socially desirable answers from athletes in selection processes, Zuber and Conzelmann 46 propose the assessment of the achievement-motivated behavior instead of explicit or implicit achievement motives, because it is directly observable and not very resource-consuming (cf. projective tests).…”

Talent selection in rowing is often solely based on anthropometric and performance variables, even though psychological characteristics are considered to be important contributors to successful talent development. Because multidimensional talent models and holistic theories represent the state-of-the-art in talent research, we aimed to find patterns connecting psychological and performance variables to future success in rowing. Therefore, 22 coaches rated the achievement-motivated behavior represented by the variables proactivity, ambition and commitment of 65 competitive to high-level athletes ( Mage = 17.2 ± 1.55 years) for the past year (t1). Additionally, the athletes performed several 2,000 m ergometer tests during that same period. At t2 (30 months later), each rower’s performance was evaluated based on the success at different competitions. To examine the results, we used the person-oriented Linking of Clusters after removal of a Residue (LICUR) method to identify the relationships between the achievement-motivated behavior and ergometer results at t1 and the success at t2. The rowers could be assigned to five clusters. Although the highly motivated rowers were not the fastest on the ergometer at t1, they were more likely to be in highest performance level at t2 compared to the other clusters (OR = 3.5, p < .05). By contrast, all the ambitionless rowers and unmotivated rowers were either racing at national level or had dropped out. In conclusion, certain patterns of achievement-motivated behavior and current performance are associated with future success (30 months later). The consideration of achievement-motivated behavior in the selection of rowers seems promising in this context.

“…Even if such a questionnaire-based procedure seems recommendable from a developmental point of view and its prognostic value is good, it is highly problematic to use it in the selection context because social desirability would quickly bias the results ( Zuber and Conzelmann, 2019a ). Therefore, it is recommended not to use self-reporting questionnaires for talent identification but only for talent development.…”

“…Therefore, it is recommended not to use self-reporting questionnaires for talent identification but only for talent development. In order to consider achievement motivation in the talent identification and selection process, an external rating scale for the assessment of the achievement-motivated behavior could be used ( Schmid et al, 2020 ; Zuber et al, 2020 ).…”

It is widely recognized that motivation is an important determinant for a successful sports career. Specific patterns of motivational constructs have recently demonstrated promising associations with future success in team sports like football and ice hockey. The present study scrutinizes whether those patterns also exist in individual sports and whether they are able to predict future performance levels. A sample of 155 young individual athletes completed questionnaires assessing achievement goal orientations, achievement motives, and self-determination at t1. The person-oriented method linking of clusters after removal of a residue (LICUR) was used to form clusters based on these motivational constructs in order to analyze the relations between these clusters and the performance level 2.5 years later (t2). Similar to the studies in team sports, four motivational patterns were observed at t1. The highly intrinsically achievement-oriented athletes were much more likely to compete internationally [odds ratio (OR) = 2.12], compared to the failure-fearing athletes (OR = 0.29). Although team and individual sports differ in many respects, they nevertheless are characterized by similar and thus generalizable career-promoting motivational profiles: Regardless of the type of sport, the highly intrinsically achievement-oriented athletes consistently have the best potential for success.
