Presumably, personal motivational and volitional spheres in students at the stage of secondary professional education differ from those of higher education students. The research involved students (N = 158) of secondary (n = 81) and higher (n = 77) professional education institutions, aged from 16 to 22, among whom 45% were girls.

A. Kuzmin), as well as the significance of motivation formation precisely at the stage of specialization as a professional athlete (E. Ilyin).
