Comparison of Personality and Motivation of Adolescent Football Players of Two Different Geographical Regions of West Bengal

The purpose of the study was to compare the personality and motivation of adolescent football players in two geographical regions of West Bengal. There is a lot behind the way by which sports have changed in today’s society. One of the notable issues is the change in the geographical society. The key issue here is how people from different geographical societies have adopted the game and how they have involved themselves in it.Nowadays sports performance in competitive sports is determined by a combination of psycho-physiological factors, technical skill, tactical insight, and state of mind. Psychology has enormous potential and it is an exciting and challenging field of knowledge. It continues to grow at an accelerating pace and offers us the hope of both understanding and improving our lives. We are all aware that Football is a team game. Previously many studies had been conducted by using the physical and physiological performance variables of school students from hills, plains, and coastal areas (Mandal, P. and Bose, A.K. 2018).West Bengal is a rich and beautiful state with a diverse geographical environment and natural resources. West Bengal has different geographical regions such as coastal, plain, sea level, and hills (elevation). As a result, people in different areas survive with diverse environmental conditions and their lifestyles also change with time according to their environment. In modern times the explosion of population and the dynamics of employment possibilities have led to large- scale mobility of the population from one kind of habitual place to another kind of habitual place.The psychological characteristics of human beings are changed with the geographical conditions of a country. Let us now consider some significant psychological factors like Stress, anxiety, motivation, and personality. Stress can pose serious problems for children, parents, teachers, society, and the nation. Adolescent has to bear the burden of academic stress and adolescents show better academic achievement when they remain mentally and physically healthy. Stress is the insistent outcome caused by stable strain and subsists in every part of our lives. The changeover from adolescence to adulthood is a complicated journey in the field of education for college students (Waghmare D.R., 2018).
