Interdependence of personal resources and activity requirements as a factor determining the possibility of professional self-realisation of personality in sports

Abstract

This article discusses the problem of the interdependence of personal resources and activity requirements, as a factor determining the possibility of personal self-realisation in sports. The article presents an analysis of the views of researchers on the problem of personal resources. The article also analyses the model of work requirements / resources (Arnold Bakker, Evangelia Demerouti). This model describes the specifics of the interaction of requirements and labour resources that affect the psychological well-being and productivity of the individual. The presented model is described in the article in relation to sports activities on the example of judo. In accordance with the requirements of the model, the article describes the activities of a judoka, the requirements of judo, as a type of activity, the resources that this sport has for a person, the personal qualities of judokas that determine the emergence of resource structures. The proposed approach in describing the interdependence of the athlete’s personal resources and the requirements of the activity (sport) will be of interest of sports specialists and athletes as a model for studying the possibility of self-realisation of a person in sports.
