A comprehensive analysis of motivational mechanisms in sports, particularly in rowing, has been conducted. The study examines key theoretical models, motivation formation methods, and their practical applications. Special attention is given to the stage of specialized basic training, where long-term motivation is developed. The role of cognitive and behavioral strategies in maintaining motivation, as well as the use of mindfulness techniques, visualization, and motivational immersion, is highlighted. The influence of psychological, pedagogical, and biomechanical factors on motivation levels is explored. The study focuses on mental resilience, stress, motivation, cognitive strategies, and other psychological aspects affecting rowers’ performance.The article highlights the interrelation between psychological, pedagogical, and biomechanical factors and motivation levels, emphasizing the importance of mental resilience, stress management, and cognitive strategies in achieving stable athletic performance. Objective. The aim of the study is to analyze the mechanisms of formation and maintenance of motivation in rowers during the stage of specialized basic training. The analysis covers psychological factors (self-regulation, attitudes, needs), social influences (coach, team, family, sports environment), and individual-typological characteristics of the athletes (temperament, character, stress resistance).Methodology. The research is based on the integration of cognitive-behavioral and humanistic theories of motivation, the self-determination theory, and the biopsychosocial approach to sports activities. Results. It has been established that rowers’ motivation is influenced by both internal (individual personality traits, self-regulation, mindfulness) and external factors (social support, coaching style, reinforcement system). The effectiveness of cognitive strategies, visualization techniques, and motivational immersion in enhancing stress resilience and strengthening long-term motivation has been proven. The study reveals that a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation contributes to stable athletic performance, whereas an imbalance may lead to psychological burnout.Conclusions. The study identifies the need for further research on adapting motivational theories to specific sports disciplines and developing personalized motivation support methods in rowing. It is recommended to implement personalized motivational support strategies, utilize modern psychological support techniques for athletes, and further investigate the adaptation of motivational theories to the specifics of different sports disciplines.
