Relevance of the research. Analyzing the cognitive representation of intention, J. Kuhl names four interrelated cognitive components, in particular: "1) an idea of the situation (or state) to which the individual aspires; 2) an idea of the actual situation that needs to be changed; 3) assessment of the discrepancy between what is and what should be; 4) an idea of the action, thanks to which this discrepancy should be overcome. Despite the popularity of Yu. Kuhl's theory in the description of self-regulation of activity, there is currently no psychodiagnosis of the action orientation of athletes, moreover, the role of volitional control in the psychological well-being of an athlete's personality has not been determined.
The Aim is to develop a method of action orientation of an athlete and to determine the role of volitional countermeasures in his psychological well-being.
Conclusions. High stock motivation in a failure situation is associated with the subjective well-being of the individual, especially in the field of physical health. In case of failure, an action-oriented athlete concentrates not on his experiences, but on the performance of the task, that is, he does not dwell on thoughts of failure and evaluates his physical condition more highly. Loss of connection with the goal leads to the fact that the state-oriented athlete experiences difficulties in making decisions because he does not fully understand what he wants to achieve, which can affect psychological well-being. Active planning control is positively related to the athlete's subjective well-being. The athlete's inability to accurately imagine the necessary stages of sports activity leads to the fact that he focuses on his condition, which is manifested in instability during its performance and is associated with a decrease in psychological well-being. Active performance control is positively related to the athlete's subjective well-being.
