Abstract


This is a descriptive-comparative study that aimed to measure the student-athletes’ motivation to practice and sport confidence before and after winning and losing in major athletic events. The researchers invited 48 athletes from the University of Batangas playing different categories of sports based on their availability. In gathering the data, the researchers used adopted questionnaires after contacting and asking permission from the original authors of the instrument. Results showed that there is a significant difference in the sport confidence of the losing team. There is also a significant difference in the motivation to practice of the losing team in terms of intrinsic motivation, integrated motivation, identified regulation, and introjected regulation. Based on the results, the researchers proposed tips for the Sports Development Office of the University of Batangas to help the student-athletes in properly managing their interpretation of winning and losing in games.
