Extrinsic Rewards Trophies Medals Money Praise Trips 3
4
Intrinsic Rewards Things that are internally satisfying when players participate in sport Having fun Feeling competent Feeling successful 4
5
Extrinsic rewards can be powerful motivators, but over time these rewards may become less valued as intrinsic rewards become more values WHY? Intrinsic rewards are self-fuelling and can’t be rewarded When players fail to achieve intrinsic rewards, they will loose motivation and are likely to quit. 5
6
Optimal Arousal Arousal too low – Bored Arousal too high – Fearful Also Known As The Flow Experience Occurs when totally immersed in activity – neither bored of fearful Attention is intensely centred in activity Not self-critical Feel in control Intrinsically rewarding 6
7
How can I as coach help my athlete to be in the “flow” and experience “optimal arousal”? 1.Fit the difficulty of the skill to the ability of the athlete 2.Keep practice stimulating through a variety of activities 3.Keep everyone active and have them not wait long for their turn 4.Avoid constant instruction 5.Do not constantly evaluate 7
8
Most frequent reasons athletes quit sport: I found other activities more enjoyable I lost interest I didn’t play enough It was all work and no fun I didn’t like the coach 8
9
How Winners Think Sees winning as a consequence of his/her ability which gives her confidence in her ability to succeed again In failure she is likely to blame it on insufficient effort Failure is not a threat to her self- worth To succeed, she needs to try harder 9
10
How Losers Think Sees failure as a lack of ability Blames himself for failure, take little or no credit for his success Failure orientated Rather not participate to avoid failure and protect self-worth 10
11
Emphasis on Performance, not Learning The mistakes and errors that are a natural part of the learning process are misinterpreted as failures Unrealistic Goals As a result of competitive pressures, athletes set unrealistically high goals that, when not attained, lead them to conclude that they are failures Extrinsic Rewards and Internal Motivation Athletes begin to play for extrinsic rewards rather than to attain personal goals 11
12
Success is not Winning Athletes must see success in terms of achieving their own goals rather than surpassing the performance of others Setting Realistic Personal Goals Consequence of Setting Personal Goals Recognising Athletes’ Limitations 12
13
Arousal Performance Relationship Just as there is an optimal level of arousal for having fun, there is an optimal level of arousal for performance Optimal arousal level varies for different sport skills When athletes are TOO MOTIVATED or aroused they become anxious and worry about it Causes of Anxiety Athletes’ uncertainty whether they can meet the demands of coaches, parents, peers or themselves Being reminded about the uncertainty of winning Being made feel insecure about social status or importance to the team 13
