Resumen

Com base nas teorias de autodeterminação e metas de realização, neste estudo, testamos a relação entre as percepções dos estilos interpessoais dos treinadores, as orientações dos objetivos do atleta, a tenacidade mental (MT) e a intenção futura da prática esportiva, bem como a autopercepção da conquista no esporte em uma amostra de 155 atletas (82 homens e 73 mulheres) com idade média de 22,64 + 3,91 anos, de 13 equipes que com- pletaram um questionário com as variáveis de interesse para o estudo. Os resultados revelaram que as percepções do atleta sobre o estilo interpessoal de apoio à autonomia predisseram positivamente a orientação das tarefas, enquanto as percepções do atleta sobre o controle do estilo interpessoal pre- viam positivamente a orientação do ego. Além disso, a orientação da tarefa e a autopercepção da realização no esporte previam positivamente MT, o que, por sua vez, previu a intenção futura da prática esportiva. Os resulta- dos enfatizam a importância de ter treinadores que promovam a autonomia de ambiente de apoio para facilitar o desenvolvimento de MT em atletas.
