Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between the scores of young cross country runners on the Self‐Motivation Inventory (SMI) and their performance and severity of injury during a single season of competition. Although no relationship was found between the SMI and performance, a strong relationship was discovered between SMI scores and severe, season‐ending injuries, particularly in females.
