What does AMI mean in BRITISH MEDICINE

The Athletic Motivation Inventory (AMI) is a tool used to measure an individual's motivation in sports. It assesses goal orientation, commitment and dedication that establishes an athlete's true desire or lack thereof for success in the sport they are playing.

The AMI helps coaches and athletes identify and analyze an athlete's personal goals and ambition related to their sport. It enables them to gain insight into how best to approach each situation for optimal outcomes. Furthermore, it also helps better understand an athlete's internal motivations when performing at their best or when failing short of expectations.

Individuals who are 18 years of age or older can take the AMI. This inventory is designed primarily for those who are already involved in sporting activities such as team members, amateur athletes or even recreational competitors.

Questions asked on the AMI usually target topics such as one's personal expectations when participating in sport activities, perceived pressure associated with athletic performance, participation trends in practice sessions, ability to focus despite distractions etc.

The scoring system from 0-5 measure responses from either not important/challenging at all (0), unimportant/easy (1), moderately important/moderately difficult(2), important/difficult(3), very important/very difficult(4) or extremely important/extremely difficult(5).
