Abstract

This study examines the effects of motivation and aggression on the sports performance of athletes aged 16 to 22 in the district of Okara, Pakistan. Sampled from Government Boy’s College, 300 participants were chosen through simple random sampling. Logistic regression analysis revealed that aggression doesn't significantly impact sports performance (p = 0.907), while motivation does (p = 0.001). These findings emphasize the importance of motivation in enhancing sports performance among youth in district Okara, urging the promotion of motivational strategies for athletes.
