AB The aim of this study was to detect possible motivational profiles in a sample of adolescent athletes. Furthermore, the study analysed thedifferences in the perceived motivational climate’s sub-factors and the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of the different profiles that werefound. A sample of 608 athletes was used, and subjects had a mean age of 14.43 years. The perceived motivational climate (PMCSQ-2), psychologicalmediators (BPNES), and motivation of the athletes in sport (SMS) were measured. Cluster analysis revealed two profiles. A highly motivated profile,with high scores in both forms of motivation: self-determined (intrinsic motivation and identified regulation) and non-self-determined motivation (introjectedand external regulation), save for amotivation; and a moderately motivated profile, with moderate scores (around 3 and 4) in forms of self-determinedand non-determined motivation. In the multivariate analysis of the perceived motivational climate’s sub-factors and of the basic psychologicalneeds according to the profile, significant differences were found in favour of the highly motivated profile both for the task-involving climate and egoinvolvingclimate sub-factors, as well as for the three psychological mediators. The results are discussed in regard to the importance of encouraging aclimate that involves tasks and that tries to satisfy the need for autonomy, competence, and relationships with others during training sessions in order toobtain more self-determined motivational profiles.
