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
 According to (Sage, 1977) motivation can be simply
defined as the direction and intensity of one’s effort.
1) Direction
The direction of effort refers to whether an individual
approaches or attracted to certain situations.
2) Intensity
The intensity of effort refer to how much a person puts in
a particular situation

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

Performance
 extrinsic rewards leads to a reduction in intrinsic
motivation

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
