received by athletes of junior high school students, high
school
students, and university students influences their feelings of
adjustment and achievement motivation towards their sports
activities. We

affects their achievement motivation. The junior high school and
university students were able to confirm that guidance
support

self-esteem
support affected their feelings of adjustment, guidance support

motivation.

the possibility that the guidance support influenced the feelings
of
adjustment and the achievement motivation. The high school student
girl got the possibility that the self-esteem support
