No statistically significant differences were found in social pressures andsports achievement motivation among handball players based on experience (p > 0.05). While family and public pressures were not significantly correlated with motivation (p>0.05), training and overall pressures were positively correlated with motivation (p<0.05).The study found moderate social pressure among handball players in Jordan, with low public-related pressures and no differences based on experience.
