3. Motivation ?
Force that directs effort/energy/persistence toward
participatory choices
‘The desire to fulfil a need’ (Cox, 1988)
4. Motivation derived from the word motive and the
Latin form of this word is “Movere”
Means “to move”
5. Newton’s first law of (Motivation) Motion
Every body persists in its state of rest or uniform
motion unless it is compelled to change that state by
force
So same in the case of sports people do not take
initiative or action until they compelled to do so.
6. Components of motivation

defined as the direction and intensity of one’s effort.

8. Approaches to understand Motivation
Personal view
Each of us develops a personal
view of how motivation works.
People often act out their
Personal views of motivation
Like a coach make conscious
effort to motivate students by
giving them +ve feedback.
May be someone believe that
people are primarily
responsible for their own
behaviors to enhance
motivation.
9. Trait centered
view
Motivated behavior is
primarily function of
individual characteristics.
Like the personality, needs,
goals, are the primary
determinants of motivational
behavior
Some people have
characteristics to be high
motivated and some people
have lack of motivation or have
no desire
10. Situation centered view
Motivation level is
determined by
situation
Student loves step
aerobics but not
motivated for
running
A player
might be
motivated to practice,
but unmotivated to
play matches.
11. Count…
A player’s feeling of self-efficacy (success) may be
high in practice, but in competitive game situations,
s/he may have a lower sense of self-efficacy.
Not all negative situations make us respond
negatively. For example, you love to do work on your
fitness, and although there happened to be a
substitute coach at practice who you didn’t feel was
very good, you had fun anyway because you love to
do workout.
Situation is a not primary determinate of motivation
12. Interactional View of
Motivation
situational <-> Trait view
The participant’s
motivation is
dependent upon
how the situation
(leader-coach
style, facility
attractiveness,
team win-loss
record) and traits
personality,
needs, interests,
goals) interact
Motivation can be
determined When
person interact
with the situation
13. Major Motives for Sport Participants
What motivates an individual for participation in
sports?

14. Why is Motivation in Sport Important?
Helps us understand why certain sports performers
are more successful than others
Helps us understand why some sports performers
make substantial sacrifices to become successful

exercise
15. Motivation Terms
1. Intrinsic motivation
Motivation derived from an internal source
2. Extrinsic motivation
Motivated by some outside force like,
Trophies
Medals
Money
Prizes
16. Effects of Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivation on
Performance
extrinsic rewards leads to a reduction in intrinsic
motivation
Intrinsic motivation will decrease when an external
reward is perceived to be the primary reason for
participation
In Professional sport motivation to win in nearly all
cases would be a mixture of both Intrinsic and
extrinsic factors
17. Five Guidelines for Building Motivation
1) Both situations & traits motivate people.
Easier to change the situation than the trait, but
must consider BOTH.
2) People have many reasons for
involvement.
Understand why people participate in physical
activity
Youth – improve skills, fun, being with friends, experiencing thrills &
excitement, achieving success, fitness
Adults start exercising – health factors, weight loss, fitness, self-
challenge, feel better
