The article analyzes the specific features of motivation of sport activity as a certain type of labor activity and studies the peculiarities of psychological factors that influence the type of motivation, the level of its manifestation and the duration of its preservation. The basic features of the judoist athlete's personality motivation, in particular the motivation for success and fear of failure, communicative and organizational inclinations, locus of control, internalizing, directivity, indicators of terminal and instrumental values are considered. Experimental work allowed to reveal connection of various forms of behavior and personality parameters with externality-internality. Conformal and compliant behavior is more peculiar to judoists with an externalistic locus. Internals, in contrast to externals, are less likely to submit to pressure from others, to resist when they feel manipulated, and they react more strongly than externals to the loss of personal freedom. Athletes from internalizing loci of control perform better at the independent level than they do under supervision or videotaping. The opposite is true for externals. Internals and externals differ in the way they interpret various social situations, particularly in the way they receive information and in their causal explanation mechanisms. Internals are more active in seeking information and are usually more aware of the situation than externals. Internals attribute more responsibility to the individuals involved in the same situation. Internals are more likely to avoid situational explanations of behavior than externals. According to the results of the study, the motives that determine attitudes toward actual circumstances are of the greatest interest. Almost all athletes are dissatisfied with the level of material provision, solution of domestic issues. Among the measures to increase the level of sports motivation the majority names the proper use of means of material and moral encouragement, improving the organization of work, the possibility of discussion and independent decision-making on their use.
