They are Indonesian, from 2021. In a school club of forty-five young archers, twelve fall into the two lower motivation bands and fourteen into the two upper ones, and the goals dimension is the only one in which the low outnumber the high, fifteen to thirteen. In a youth training centre of twelve athletes a quarter sit in the low band, and the weakest drives are those tied to the training method, the social setting and personality. The problem lies in how the bands are built: in both studies they come from the very group being measured, in the first at half a standard deviation below the mean, in the second exactly at the lowest score observed, with a table that does not add up. With thresholds like these part of the group necessarily falls below the middle band, so poorly motivated means less motivated than teammates, not poorly motivated in absolute terms, and the quarter comes from the method more than from the young archers. The only later study, from 2025, listens to ten young Filipino archers and tells another side of the same question: among the things they enjoy most are travelling to competitions and the group of people who share the same passion.claim:motivazione-giovani-club:revision:2026-06-17:2Wed, 17 Jun 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/mind/motivation-youth-archery-clubsclaim:motivazione-giovani-club:new_claim:2026-04-27:non_studiatoMon, 27 Apr 2026 08:00:00 GMT
