Long-term injuries in athletes are more common than you think. It is not notice in the same way if you yourself do not practice a sport or have been injured. How is their motivation really? Does the motivation change the longer the practitioners are injured or is the motivation the same throughout the injury period? The purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate how the motivation changes in athletes with long-term injuries. To fulfill the purpose, three questions were used; How does the perceived social connection affect? How does the feeling of competence affect? How does the experience of self-determination affect? The study uses a qualitative research method that consists of semi-structured interviews. Data collection is carried out by individual semi-structured interviews based on an interview guide (see Appendix 1). The results show that most of the respondents feel that they have the support of their teammates, they think it is good when they can set up their own rehabilitation. The study shows that athletes feel that it is difficult not to feel as skilled and involved as they experienced before their injury. The discussion showed that the results of the study were consistent with previous research. It is the inner motivation you want to access, the feeling when you train because it is fun and very nice. Belonging, competence and self-determination are three important factors that affect sport in order for it to regain motivation. Keywords: Long-term injury, motivation, rehabilitation
