Important points which will motivate a sportsperson to take up the game
Answers
1. "Do it for love." Reminding yourself that you love your book project, your sport, or your team can be a powerful motivator. During the team competition at the 2014 Olympics, I overheard (via TV) coach Frank Carroll tell nervous 18-year-old U.S. skater Gracie Gold words to this effect as she glided onto the ice for her performance: “Think about how much you love skating!” Phil Jackson, the renowned NBA basketball coach, explains it like this in his book, Eleven Rings: Focus on something greater than yourself that you love and value, such as your sport or your team.
"Next play!"
2. “Next play.” “Air ball, air ball.” This taunt means that a basketball player has totally missed the basket. Worse mistakes than this can occur during any game, however. The “next play” motto reminds players to leave their mistakes in the dust and focus on what they need to do in the coming moment. This philosophy, the mantra of Duke University basketball coach, Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski), prevents players from dwelling on misplays. It also keeps them from puffing up with an "I'm the greatest" attitude after an outstanding play and losing focus as a result. As described by LinkedIn CEO Jeff Weiner, who has adopted the “next play” philosophy, it means this:
"(Coach K) yells out “next play,” because he doesn’t want the team lingering too long on what just took place. He doesn’t want them celebrating that incredible alley-oop dunk, and he doesn’t want them lamenting the fact that the opposing team just stole the ball and had a fast break that led to an easy layup. You can take a moment to reflect on what just happened, and you probably should, but you shouldn’t linger too long on it, and then move on to the next play."
3. "Aim for excellence, not perfection." This is a great motto for anyone whose perfectionistic tendencies prevent them from getting anything done. As reported here, Gracie Gold’s coach Frank Carroll emphasized that, “It’s not the perfect skater that wins, it’s the best skater.” Accepting failures and glitches in one’s program is simply part of the process.
4. "Why not you? Why not us?" Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson had always yearned to be a professional football player, especially one who could lead his team to the Super Bowl. He always remembered his father’s question to him, “Why not you?” When he encouraged his Seahawks teammates, he transformed the saying into, “Why not us?” (The Seahawks did win the 2014 Super Bowl.)
I find that the saying, “Why not me?” is a useful question to ask myself when I am complaining that “somebody” should do “something” about the terrible problem of ___ (fill in the blank). I ask myself, “Why not me?” If I realize I don’t have the skills or time to make a contribution, then at least I stop complaining. But I also begin to think about whether I could do some little thing to help solve problem X.
5. “Create the best possible conditions for success, then let go of the outcome.” This statement is from Phil Jackson’s book, Eleven Rings. I’ve heard echoes of this statement in interviews by Olympians and other successful athletes. Once you’ve prepared mentally and physically for your game, then you are ready to do your best--and your best is the best you can do.
6. "Cultivate a learning mindset instead of a fixed mindset." Many young athletes believe that it's talent that counts—“You either have it or you don’t.” As a result, they don’t put in the hard work needed to overcome deficiencies, hone a skill to excellence, or develop the mental strength and flexibility to bounce back from failure (and success). To encourage a growth mindset in others, reward effort rather than talent and reframe failure as an opportunity to learn. To open your own mind to constructive feedback, heed the counsel of Carol Dweck, author of Mindset: “...Find success in learning and improving, not just winning.”
7. "Use setbacks as motivation." So you had a bad day. A bad year. Can you use your failures as a springboard to success? If you read the sports page, you’ll find that almost every sports team uses a significant loss to motivate themselves to improve in the coming year.
8. "Keep your self-talk encouraging." When skater Gracie Gold started her short program with a shaky jump at the 2014 Olympics, she told herself, ““I’ve come too far not to land this stupid double axel....I’m going to land it with a smile.” Positive self-talk must be geared to your own mentality (I'm not sure the word "stupid" would have been helpful to some people), but here are some realistic mantras to use: “I’ve done it before; I can do it again.” “I’m going to trust myself.” “Whatever happens, I’ll do my best.” Gold's self-talk helped keep her in medal contention. In the long program, she couldn't hold on to one jump, but completed the rest of her program with distinction.

1. Decide on your type of motivationThere are two common types of motivation: Extrinsic and Intrinsic.Extrinsic is the use of external factors to encourage and motivate a player to perform or act in the way you want them to, whether it be positive or negative. In the workplace, it could be things like a pay rise, a bonus or the afternoon off. It could of course be less savoury things like the threat of losing your job altogether.n the sporting arena, coaches can adopt the same strategy. Extrinsic motivation might be the promise of being paid a match fee or a promotion to team captain. More negatively, a coach might threaten to drop a player from their team, or even consider banishing them from the club altogether.
The extrinsic model of motivation aligns favourably with the “carrot and stick” school of motivation. Offering a player reward or enforcing their compliance with the threat of negative consequences is a little old-hat in terms of motivating your sport's team in the 21st Century. Instead, look to use intrinsic motivation.
Intrinsic motivation is the internal desire within a player to improve, achieve and succeed. It's your job as a coach to be able to inflame that desire within a player, challenging them to become the best every single day.
The best coaches will use intrinsic motivation, inspiring players and meaning the unpredictable and less effective extrinsic methods are not required.
2. Create the right environment
Motivation starts on the training pitch. When a player arrives for one of your training sessions, they should feel a surge of impetus hit them from the off. You can rouse that emotion in your players by creating a positive environment in and around your training facilities.
Take a look around, does the environment inspire confidence in players that they can turn up, give their all and contribute to a club that's heading in the right direction? You can make small improvements to this by investing in new equipment or sprucing up your clubhouse or changing rooms.
Give your club a lift with some fresh aesthetics and breed that positivity from the second your squad arrives.
Similarly, do you as a coach promote that positivity when interacting with your team? Positivity in coaching is a much more effective method of success than being an authoritarian, hierarchical coach that doesn't connect with their team.
Let players know you're more than just the coach, but a friend who shares their passion for sport. Bringing yourself closer to your team, and your team closer together, making them more motivated to fight for one another out on the pitch.
The working environment is key to making your team a happy and motivated one. Make sure everything you do is geared towards creating that environment.
3. Communication goes two-ways
We touched on the importance of communicating comfortably with individuals in social scenarios. Communicating well with your team in sporting scenarios is just as important to improving motivation – and it needs to be considered a two-way street.
As a coach the onus is generally on you to present solutions to your team that they are then expected to implement. But communication should always be a two way street, and listening to your players can help you gauge their thoughts on how best to improve and move forward4. Make it funCentral to creating a good, positive team environment is fun. Fun is one of the most vital aspects of taking part in sport, and yet one of the hardest to achieve. Youth teams are known to value the enjoyment of sport above winning; and even adults can be hard to motivate in a community sports framework.
Your players turn up every Sunday due to their passion for the sport and dedication to your club, so don't suck these elements out of your team.
Challenging your players and breeding that drive and endeavour to succeed is itself part of the fun of taking part in sport. Use the pointers in this article to create that engaged, motivated environment and players will get much more enjoyment out of playing for you and with one another.
5. Use competitive aspects
We all undergo similar emotions when playing sport, and one of the most pressing is the will to win. Competition is a central topic to motivating yourself to succeed, and your team are no different.
There's nothing wrong with inflaming that innate competition in sportsmen and women. It fuels that necessity for fun and helps to motivate your team to constantly improve and become better than their peers.
A word of warning though – it's all about balance. Using competitive influences in your coaching is great, but pushing it too hard can have adverse effects on morale. Don't place too much emphasis on winners and losers and don't fall back into that trap of rewarding winners and punishing losers. Otherwise you'll end up with a divide in your ground
