The number of chronbach alpha in the study was 0.73. As a result, a statistically meaningful difference was found between the monthly income variation of women athletes and the success of the lower dimensions of the motivation to participate in the sport (p=0,03). As the monthly revenue increases, the level of success is also observed. There was also a statistically significant difference between the age variation of athletes and the success (p=0,00) and the team spirit (0,01) lower length. As the age rises, the level of success and team spirit has also increased proportionally. With regard to the variable of the sport category, a statistically significant difference between the competition sub-dimensional and the competition sub-dimensional was observed (p=0,00). The individual athletes have been found to have a higher level of competition sub-dimensions than the team athletes.
