How Do Athletes Stay Motivated?

When I first started coaching in 2013 I swore that I would never be like so many of my coaches in the past…

The type of coach that would make you run if they were pi**ed off or trying to get you to perform better.

My thought process was this…incentivize people for doing well. Not punish for messing up.

Fortunately I was partially correct…

Athletes are motivated in 2 ways:

1. To avoid the things they don’t want.
2. To accomplish the things they want.

The problem is that coaches try to motivate in the way that works for them.

It takes awareness to know what type of player you are dealing with.

And in a group setting we have to learn how to apply both.

That way we don’t frustrate players by trying to motivate them in a way that doesn’t work for them.

Stay strong,

Sam

Who here is into yoga?

It’s been a game changer mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually the past 4 years.

It teaches incredible lessons on the mat that you take into your everyday life.

Things like managing stress with the breath.

Don’t knock it until you try it ✌🏼
