Describe and explain Nicholls (1984) achievement goal theory. Use sporting examples to show your understanding. Motivation is the psychological constructs that energise, direct and regulate achievement behaviour (Roberts, 2001), which means they want to reach desired goals and to produce desired outcomes.
