STUDYING THE PROSPECTS OF STUDENT MOTIVES DURING THE PRIMARY SELECTION IN SHOOTING SPORT

The primary selection in shooting sport is important, because the sport results depend on the combination of physical skills, psychological characteristics and motivation of candidates. The scientific search for factors, which during the primary selection could indicate the high prospects of candidates, is relevant. In this article the author is studying motives, which indicate the high prospects of a candidate in shooting sport. The author conducts the research among 48 students involved in a university shooting sport club (small-bore and air rifles). When these students join the club, they fill in a questionnaire and indicate their motives for entering shooting sport. Two years later they are divided into three groups depending on their sport results and interest in shooting sport: small, medium and high motivation. Each group correlates with motives from the questionnaire, which the students answered 2 years ago. According to the results of the study, it is difficult to identify a motive that would unambiguously indicate the prospectivity of the selected candidate. Nevertheless, it is noted that among the students who later showed high interest and performance in bullet shooting, the desire to attend competitions and achieve sports results was more often present during the initial selection, while the interest in weapons as such was less expressed. The exceptions to this generalization must be taken into account. The results of this research can increase the quality of the complex primary selection.
