Abstract

The study aimed to explore the various facets of motivation influencing the physical well-being and psychosocial performance of student-athletes. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, the research collected data from 132 athletes at Batangas State University-TNEU, Malvar campus during the Academic Year 2023-2024. A custom questionnaire assessed athletes' motivation regarding autonomy, competence, and relatedness, alongside their perceptions of physical well-being and psychosocial performance, including social support, psychological resilience, and emotional well-being. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to analyze the motivation and well-being scores. Additionally, Pearson product-moment correlation was employed to identify significant relationships between motivation factors and well-being outcomes. Results indicated that autonomy competence (mean and relatedness are crucial motivators, with significant correlations to physical health and psychosocial performance. Social support, psychological resilience, and emotional well-being each had an average rating underscoring their importance in athletic achievement. The findings suggest that fostering autonomy, skill development, and positive social connections enhances athlete motivation and overall well-being. Recommendations include creating supportive environments that promote autonomy, implementing challenging training programs, recognizing achievements, and providing robust social support and mental health resources
