Athletes’ average of ages are 16,552±743. 121 of these athletes were used imagery. As a result of correlation analyse statistically significant relationship found between subdimensions of motivation of succes and subdimensions of imagery (p<0,05). It wasn’t discovered a meaningful change at subdimensions of imagery and motivation of succes according to participants’ genders, injury history and using of imagery in competition. It was discovered a meaningful change at subdimension of motivation of succes when the age variables were investigated. A relationship between imagery use and motivation of succes was found in team sports athletes.
