While achievement motivation influences success in elite sports, the empirical knowledge on its manifold aspects and its development is quite rudimentary, especially in disability sports. This study analyzes motivation of athletes with a disability (N=73) as opposed to athletes without a disability (N=156). We surveyed these German elite athletes (N=229) in a 2x3 design retrospectively, regarding various facets of achievement motivation during three career phases (initiation, development and mastery). Results showed that enjoying the sport and improving one’s personal performance level have great relevance for athletes with a disability, whereas incentives such as career opportunities and earning money are less important. MANOVAs revealed differences between athletes with and without a disability regarding incentives as well as personal factors. For the latter, nearly all personal factors developed significantly over the career phases. These results provide empirical knowledge for new implications regarding psychological consultations in elite disability sports.
