Motivation in sports

Motivation is an internal energy force that determines all aspects of our behaviour; it also impacts on how we think, feel and interact with others. In sport, high motivation is widely accepted as an essential prerequisite in getting athletes to fulfil their potential. Howeve, given it's inherently abstract nature, it is a force that is often difficult to exploit.

Motivation is thought to be a combination of drive within us to achieve our aims and the outside factors which affect it. With this in mind, motivation has the following two forms, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.

Mental skills of a successful athlete

You don’t have to be a professional athlete or an Olympic champion to be a successful athlete. Nor do you have to have a room full of trophies, win a state championship, or make the front page of the sports section.  Successful athletes are those who feel that their sport is important to them and they’re committed to being the best that they can be within the scope of their limitations – other life commitments, time, finances, and their natural ability. They set high, realistic goals for themselves and train and play hard. They are successful because they’re pursuing their goals and enjoying their sport. Their sport enriches their lives and they believe that what they get back is worth what they put into their sport.
