Abstract
There are multiple ways individuals are motivated, but a theory suggests that they all have something in common. Individuals may differ in their motivational orientations, outside influences, and interpersonal perceptions (Haggar & Chatzisarantis, 2008). Getting college students interested in sports requires motivational techniques geared specifically toward their interests. Participate in sports for reinforcing positive messages and focusing on the reasons why they like sports. Physical and Psychological health have both been shown to benefit from regular participation in sports. Health reasons are, however, not the only motives individuals have for taking part in sports. Motives related to appearance, competition and excitement, fun and enhanced competence, are a few other reasons. It also has been suggested that the motives for participation influence sport participation.
