7. HOW TO MOTIVATE THE PLAYERS
There are various means through which players can be motivated, some
of which are as follows :-
No individual is same in respect of their knowledge and capabilities.
Motivating the students or players is not an easy task only that
physical educator can motivate his players who himself have taken
part in the competition and have thorough knowledge relating to
various difficulties which are being faced by a player in participating
in the competitions of various kinds.
Players can not be motivated in an atmosphere of boundations. One
should be provided with freedom to act without any kind of
boundations, however, this freedom should not be unlimited.
An important means to motivate the players to perform efficiently is
to make use of different activities during the training period.

One of an important method to motivate a player is to give him an
opportunity to make his self-analysis. He should be provided adequate
means and help to analyze his own potential and weakness.
Motivational level of players get effected to a lot of extent by
appropriate feedback. Players who receive the feedback from the
teachers perform the functions efficiently.
To analyze the level of knowledge of students, various kinds of
competitions should be held from time to time in the school or the
institution.
Physical educator should classify the players on the basis of their
performance level into different categories.
