Motivation There are 2 types of motivation, Internal and External There are 2 types of motivation, Internal and External Internal motivation = Will to win Internal motivation = Will to win External motivation = external reason for taking part e.g. money, a prize or a performance mark External motivation = external reason for taking part e.g. money, a prize or a performance mark NB.

The importance of motivation to training The more motivated you are to achieve your goals the more likely you are to improve The more motivated you are to achieve your goals the more likely you are to improve The more motivated you are to complete high quality practice the more likely you are to improve The more motivated you are to complete high quality practice the more likely you are to improve It is important to practice with quality in order to prevent learning bad habits. If bad habits are learned they need to be unlearned It is important to practice with quality in order to prevent learning bad habits.

Concentration During an activity, high level performers can pay closer attention to the more important factors than the less important factors. During an activity, high level performers can pay closer attention to the more important factors than the less important factors. Lapses in concentration often occur due to tiredness, therefore work to rest ratio is an important factor to consider when training.

As a beginner you will need to have longer rest periods so that you can maintain concentration when you work.

Your ability to Concentrate is relative to your level of ability At the beginner level (cognitive stage) you are unable to focus on many aspects of performance. All concentration is focussed on the basic aspects i.e. how to move your body to perform a skill. At the beginner level (cognitive stage) you are unable to focus on many aspects of performance.

Feedback Internal Feedback = Feedback your body gets from the feeling of the movement. This can also be referred to as Kinaesthetic Feedback Internal Feedback = Feedback your body gets from the feeling of the movement. This can also be referred to as Kinaesthetic Feedback External Feedback = Feedback from an outside source e.g. A coach giving advice External Feedback = Feedback from an outside source e.g. A coach giving advice Knowledge of Results is a form of external feedback and is an extremely useful form of feedback. Knowledge of Results is a form of external feedback and is an extremely useful form of feedback. Knowledge of results can be found by watching a video of performance, looking at results of observation schedules or reflecting on the results of how you have performed in a game.

Feedback As you learn from your experience, you store feedback information in your memory and recall it as necessary to aid future performance. As you learn from your experience, you store feedback information in your memory and recall it as necessary to aid future performance. Feedback should be constructive and give specific pointers as to how performance can be improved. Feedback should be constructive and give specific pointers as to how performance can be improved. Effective feedback is positive rather than negative. It focuses on what was good while indicating where improvements can be made. Effective feedback is positive rather than negative.

The importance of Feedback to training Successful sportsmen and women constantly make use of feedback in all its forms Successful sportsmen and women constantly make use of feedback in all its forms This helps the athlete to constantly adjust and fine tune their performance to make improvements This helps the athlete to constantly adjust and fine tune their performance to make improvements

SMART goals GOALS SET IN TRAINING SHOULD BE SMART S= SPECIFIC S= SPECIFIC M= MEASURABLE M= MEASURABLE A= ATTAINABLE A= ATTAINABLE R= REALISTIC R= REALISTIC T= TIME PHASED T= TIME PHASED

SMART goals can aid motivation By setting goals the performer is motivated to strive to achieve them. By setting goals the performer is motivated to strive to achieve them. However it is important that they are realistic and attainable. If not this could have a negative effect on Motivation levels However it is important that they are realistic and attainable. If not this could have a negative effect on Motivation levels

SMART goals can aid concentration By setting goals this gives a focus to the training. By setting goals this gives a focus to the training. The performer has to concentrate on what they have to achieve in each training session if they wish to meet their goals.
