‘Those who are intrinsically motivated engage in an activity for the pleasure and satisfaction they experience while learning, exploring or trying to understand

something new.’ Weinberg and Gould, 2003.

Intrinsic Motivation

This is motivation from within

A desire to perform well and succeed

Desire to overcome

the problem or task

Development of skills and habits

to overcome that problem

Rehearsal of successful

habits until they are perfect

A feeling of pride and

enjoyment in

performing the skill

Repeated goal setting in order to progress and

maintain motivation

Extrinsic Motivation

• Extrinsic motivation comes from a source outside of the performer. These are things which can encourage the athlete to perform and fall into two groups:

Extrinsic Motivation

Tangible Rewards Intangible Rewards

Tangible Rewards Physical rewards such as medals and money. These should be used sparingly with young athletes to avoid a situation where winning a prize is more important than competing well

Intangible Rewards

• Praise, recognition and achievements.• These should be used on a regular basis to

encourage the athlete to repeat the behavior which earned the praise.

Motivation. • Sir Alex Ferguson is one manager who is an

excellent example of a motivator of players.• Man United were losing 1-0 in the 89th minute

of the 1999 UEFA Champions League Cup. WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED?

The Importance of Motivation

> It is important to be motivated in sport in order to perform well. If a sportsman or woman is not well motivated then they will not perform to the best of their abilities.

> When the whole team is motivated you have an environment that encourages people to all perform to the best of their abilities rather then just having individuals performing well.

> This is vital to success in sport as it is a team that wins matches rather then one or two individuals.

Extension Task ‘Nothing happens in sport that is devoid of motivation’ (Cox,

1991) For each of the following individuals/teams write down what you

think may motivate them:

Individual/Team What may motivate them?

A professional footballer A Sunday league

athlete A hockey team who have lost their last 10 matches

A marathon runner
