Abstract: The subject of this research is the psychological patterns of dynamic manifestations of athlete’s motivation for achieving results in individual sports, as well as peculiarities of its transformation, taking into account professional becoming and the impact on self-efficacy The object of this research is the achievement motivation of athletes in individual sports. The author aims to empirically assess the impact of structural organization of achievement motivation of athletes upon their performance and achievements. Relying on the methods of nomothetic analysis of the data on the achievement motivation of over than 500 athletes, as well as their achievements, the article builds the system of independent equations that allow analyzing the impact of basic motivational factors (ego orientation, task solution, and material values) upon the effectiveness of athletes of the corresponding professional age group. The main conclusion consists in the revealed patterns that determine the effectiveness of an athlete depending on the structural organization of achievement motivation. Leaning on the developed system of independent equations, the author determines the level of sensitivity of achievements to the structure of the motive of athletes in individual sports. It is established that the degree of performance of an athlete is most sensitive to changes in the "task-solution orientation" factor. However, the progress in professional development leads to inclination towards the "material factor". The novelty of consists in modernization of the existing approaches and algorithms towards studying the achievement motivation (approaches of R. A. Piloyan, E. P. Ilyin, A. C. Puni, etc.) within the framework of using the dynamic analysis of the three-dimensional structure of motivation ("ego", "tasks", "material factors") applicable to athletes in individual sports. This allowed substantiating the need to use such mathematical-statistical models that are able to forecast the performance of an athlete depending on the structural organization of basic motives in each professional group.

2. Given the very significant level of statistical significance of the obtained dependencies, it can be argued about the reliability of the previously obtained results.

Conclusion.

It is important to note that the obtained system of independent equations also demonstrates that with the professional development of an athlete, the values of elasticity coefficients for motivational factors (X1, X2, X3) increase in absolute terms. This may indicate that the psychology of motivation of an athlete, as his professional development begins to demonstrate a less noticeable differentiation between motivational factors (the difference in orientation to one or another motive is leveled). Their relationship between each other tends to balance as they move up the career ladder and does not look as differentiated as it is observed, as a rule, at the initial stages of sports training. This may mean that as an athlete reaches professional maturity, an established system of motivational settings is formed with less pronounced accents towards one of the motivational components (X1, X2, X2).

At the same time, despite the noted vector of striving to balance motivational factors as you move up the professional ladder, the ratio between the factors tends to shift towards the dominance of the motive focused on the material component.

The paper "Assessment of the influence of the structural organization of the motivation of athletes' achievements on the effectiveness of their activities" is presented for review. The article provides a detailed analysis of the main directions of the study of motivation. The present study is based on the theory of achievement motivation (M.S. Magomed-Eminov, R.A. Piloyan, A. Puni, A. Adler, A. Elliott, etc.). The author focuses on what drives a person to success: result orientation or problem solving orientation. In the first case, it implies the fact of comparing oneself with others, with the subsequent perception of superiority over them on this basis, in the second – a comparative analysis of the solution of the tasks set in the process of comparing the results of the performance with one's own previous results and the subsequent desire to improve them. In addition, specialists also additionally highlight the third basic motive – orientation towards material values. Therefore, the present study of the influence of the structural organization of achievement motivation was conducted through the prism of the analysis of the three considered supporting motives. This is especially relevant in relation to athletes of individual sports. The article provides an overview of research approaches that are relevant to the psychology of sports within the framework of achievement motivation. As a result, interesting and significant results for science and practice have been obtained. The author notes that with the professional development of an athlete, the values of elasticity coefficients for motivational factors increase in absolute terms. The psychology of motivation of an athlete, as his professional development begins to demonstrate a less noticeable differentiation between motivational factors (the difference in orientation to one or another motive is leveled). Their relationship tends to balance as they move up the career ladder and does not look as differentiated as it is observed, as a rule, at the initial stages of sports training. This may mean that as an athlete reaches professional maturity, an established system of motivational settings is formed with less pronounced accents towards one of the motivational components. At the same time, despite the noted vector of striving to balance motivational factors as you move up the professional ladder, the ratio between the factors tends to shift towards the dominance of a motive focused on the material component. The experimental results obtained are confirmed by a significant level of significance. The article is structured, the semantic parts are expressed and indicated. The text is written in a scientific language, is characterized by novelty and meets all the requirements that apply to works of this level. However, it is necessary to define the purpose and subject of the study more clearly in the work, as well as the relevance. The list of references consists of 20 domestic and foreign sources, there are references. However, there are comments on the design of the bibliography: 1. Not all sources are designed in accordance with GOST 7.1 – 2003. For example, No. 20. 2. Not all sources have pages defined. For example, No. 17.3. In some sources there are typos, extra characters. For example, No. 11 is "research". 4. There is no uniformity in the design of sources. For example, No. 6 and No. 16 ("psychodiagnostics; ed." - "for SPO / ed."), No. 17 and No. 20 (Sibirev, V.V. - Safiullin M.R.), etc. Therefore, it is recommended to design a bibliographic list in accordance with the requirements that apply to articles. The article is of undoubted scientific value, it will be of interest to specialized specialists and can be published after revision.
