Motivation 10
I don't put much stock into the idea of "intrinsic" motivation. I just love motivated behavior, whether the source seems to be internal or external. Either way, there are outside influences, so at some level, it's "extrinsic." And either way, behavior is the individual's decision, so at some level, it's "intrinsic." Our reality is that no one is fully motivated all the time and even though it's wrong to expect perfection, it's certainly right to strive for it. These articles are designed to help stoke your (internal) fire.
Leadership 11
These articles focus on how to make your teammates better. I encourage coaches to think of their players as teammates. After all, if you aren't all working together towards common goals, something is wrong.
Self-Talk 11
Everyone thinks...a lot. Some researchers say 50,000 thoughts a day is average and that half of these thoughts are negative. That's scary. I don't know if the numbers are correct, but I do know that humans think and that these thoughts determine attitudes, including confidence. The "articles" in this topic provide concrete examples (relating to a specific theme) of normal versus ideal thinking patterns about the same thing.
