Motivation is an individuals desire to succeed. Rather than intrinsic or extrinsic motivation, it is when people are over or under motivated that injuries occur

Under motivation – Poor motivation = lack of commitment = could result in injuries in high level sports such as boxing i.e. when failing to hold guard up during a fight
Over motivation = results in over arousal = over commitment e.g. diving in for a tackle during a 1-1 draw in a FA cup final could result in a injury

10. Anxiety/Arousal PE and Sport Faculty
Arousal: A physical and mental (physiological and psychological) state of alertness/readiness, varying from deep sleep to intense excitement or alertness.
How does this apply to increasing the risk of sports injuries?
1. Performers may be too stressed/nervous/worried to perform well
2. If they have high arousal levels = excited = could over commit in e.g. a tackle which could result in an injury.
3. May not be able to concentrate or focus = wrong decisions could be made
Anxiety is a negative emotional state associated with feelings of nervousness, worry and apprehension associated with activation or arousal of the body.
4. Lack confidence = go into tackles too soft or pull out last minute = increases risk of injury occurring.
