The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between basic needs satisfaction and achievement goal. The statistical population of this study was the veterans and the disables athlete of Khorasan-e Razavi province (N=700).

For gathering data، two standard questionnaires، driven from basic needs satisfaction (Johan et al، 2011) and achievement goal (Sean et al، 2008) were used. Validity of questionnaires was achieved through considering comments of professors of sport management course and by using Cronbach’s alpha test the reliability of basic needs satisfaction and achievement goal questionnaires were found to be 0. 83 and 0. 82، respectively. The research method is correlational and has been done through field method. Descriptive scales and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical tests، Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The results of correlation test indicated that there is a positive and significant relation (r=0. 272، P≤0. 01) between basic needs satisfaction and achievement goal. Furthermore between factors competence (r=0. 264، P≤0. 01)، the internal perceived locus of causality (r=0. 187، P=0. 012) and relatedness (r=0. 297، P≤0. 01)، with achievement goal and positive and significant relationship was observed. But between components choice (r=0. 005، P=0. 95) and volition (r=0. 12، P=0. 109) with achievement goal no-significant relationship was observed. Furthermore the results of regression analysis showed that factor relatedness is expect to qualify achievement goal.
