Abstract
The paper deals with a problem of the achievement motivation from the view of sport psychology. There is an overview of the basic terms at the beginning of the paper and then the overview of the psychological tests focused on achievement motivation in the second part.
It compares the traditional view of sport psychology with current approach to this problem in which achievement orientation is understood like an important personality trait. Sport psychologists are looking for the way how to maximize it but it must be considered to be a risk factor of the mental health in some cases too (by persons with predisposition to this).
