Motivation and Burnout in Professional Pasifiki Rugby Players<\/span><\/p>\nThis thesis examined the participation motivation among professional Pasifiki rugby players. Dominated by Western theories and models, rugby participation research has overlooked the inclusion of a theory or model that is significant to Pasifiki peoples. This research identified what cultural factors exist, that motivate so many Pasifiki peoples to play rugby.\u00a0 This research also highlighted a mismatch between the lived realities of Pasifiki rugby players\u2019 experiences of motivation and burnout, compared to the lived realities of Pal\u0101ngi rugby players. The most notable outcome, was that Pasifiki rugby players\u2019 experiences were dramatically intensified, by familial, cultural, spiritual and financial obligations; which manifested in burnout, mental illness, substance abuse, binge drinking and failed attempts at suicide.<\/p>\n
