TQBD 56: What Motivates You as an Athlete? Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation?

Jan 25, 2019

What drives you to get out of bed for the 6 am workout before school? The extra throwing sessions? The extra film study? The list goes on and on! What are the motivating factors in your life?

Today we dive into this topic and describe these motivations as either intrinsic or extrinsic. What does this mean? Today's topics include:

 

• Defining Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation.
• How these two motivation categories can piggy back on each other
• Why it is important that your extrinsic factors be in check?          - Parents take notice of this one!! :)  
• The crucial role of experience and the development of intrinsic motivation.

We believe that these two motivating factors have helped us each and every day with our workouts, jobs, relationships, and faith!
