The goal of this study is to compare the leading motives of different training fields' students who are professional athletes and are not. The main method of research is the method of colour metaphors by Igor' Solomin. There were 50 subjects of the experiment from the Department of Physical education and sports and 42 subjects of the Department of Social Sciences of Lobachevsky Nizhny Novgorod State University (their mean age was 21 years old). We have found that young males have significantly more leading motives compared to young females, regardless of vocational orientation. The leading motives of athletes, regardless of sex, are the motivation for success and sports activities. Significant motives of psychology students, regardless of sex, included the motive of understanding their actual “I” and the motive of self-development. Female psychology students have priority motives for interpersonal communication and enjoyment. However, males have priority motives for interpersonal communication, solving topical problems, motives of independence and obligation, motive of self-development, as well as motives for career growth and material well-being.
