Sumario: The objective of this study was to analyze the prediction of ability beliefs, goal orientations and perceptions of athletic competence on procedural knowledge in basketball players. The research involved 339 players aged between 12 and 15. The motivational orientation (POSQ), the ability beliefs in sport (CNAAQ-2), sport competence and procedural knowledge in basketball (CCP) were measured. The results of the structural equation modeling, showed that incremental ability belief predicted positively procedural knowledge, while the entity ability belief predicted procedural knowledge negatively. The relationship between the ability beliefs and procedural knowledge was direct, without the mediation of goal orientations and perceived competence. The results are discussed in relation to the role of motivation on procedural knowledge on the sport.
