Abstract:
The study aimed to explore and compare sports achievement motivation among inter-collegiate and inter-university football players. Twenty participants were randomly selected from Vidyasagar University, who were involved in inter-university competitions. Additionally, another twenty participants were selected from Government General Degree College, Narayangarh, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India, who were engaged in inter-collegiate competitions to achieve the stated objective. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to 25 years. The Sports Achievement Motivation Test (SAMT), was employed to assess the achievement motivation of the players. Statistical analysis, including mean, standard deviation, and independent t-test, was conducted to compare the achievement motivation levels of inter-collegiate and inter-university women football players. The significance level was set at 0.05. The study's findings indicate a significant difference in the achievement motivation levels between inter-collegiate and inter-university players, with inter-university players demonstrating a higher level of achievement motivation compared to inter-collegiate players.
