- How passion shapes motivation and promotes well-being in young football playersPublication . Braz, Diogo Salgado; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio Quintal; Teixeira, Diogo S; Cid, Luis; Sarmento, Hugo Miguel Borges; Monteiro, DiogoThis study examines the influence of passion on motivational regulation and subjective well-being in young footballers, drawing on the Dualistic Model of Passion (DMP), Self-Determination Theory (SDT), and Organismic Integration Theory (OIT). A total of 390 male youth football players (aged 13–17) completed validated measures assessing harmonious and obsessive passion, motivation regulation, life satisfaction, and affect. Structural equation modeling revealed that harmonious passion positively predicted self-determined motivation and negatively predicted non-self-determined motivation. In turn, self-determined motivation was associated with higher life satisfaction and positive affect, and lower negative affect. Obsessive passion demonstrated the opposite pattern. Mediation analyses confirmed the indirect effects of passion on well-being through motivational regulation. These findings underscore the importance of promoting harmonious passion and autonomous motivation to foster well-being in youth sports. Practical implications for coaches and sports psychologists are discussed, emphasizing strategies for cultivating adaptive passion and motivational profiles.
- Life satisfaction in young footballers: The contribution of basic needs satisfaction and passionPublication . Braz, Diogo Salgado; Gouveia, Élvio R; Teixeira, Diogo S; Sarmento, Hugo; Monteiro, DiogoThe present study was grounded in Self-Determination Theory and the Dualistic Model of Passion. The objective of the study was to examine the relationships between basic psychological need satisfaction, passion (harmonious and obsessive), and life satisfaction in youth football players. The sample comprised 403 male youth football players aged 13 to 17 years who completed validated self-report measures assessing autonomy, competence, relatedness, passion for football, and global life satisfaction. The structural equation modeling approach was employed to assess direct and indirect associations among variables, as well as to ascertain invariance of the model across age groups. The results of the study indicated that the satisfaction of basic psychological needs was associated with a propensity toward harmonious passion, while concurrently demonstrating an inverse relationship with obsessive passion. The harmonious passion–life satisfaction relationship was found to be positive, while the obsessive passion–life satisfaction relationship was found to be negative. The present study examined the relationship between need satisfaction and life satisfaction, with the hypothesis that passion would mediate this relationship. It was predicted that the way players internalize their motivation would play a central role in translating sport experiences into broader well-being. The structural model demonstrated invariance across age groups, thereby suggesting developmental robustness of these motivational processes throughout adolescence. These findings underscore the significance of need-supportive environments in youth football, which are instrumental in fostering adaptive forms of passion and promoting long-term psychological well-being.
