Athlete Motivation and the Correlation between Motivation & Performance

Abstract: One of the most difficult aspects of physical education is developing motivational tools for athletes, and educators have struggled to promote self- and group-directed motivational programming and assessments to improve the performance of student athletes. This 25 page paper considers the problem of motivation within the scope of physical education programming and provides an overview of the commonly applied motivational models. This study also provides some suggestions and recommendations for educators, and links motivation to performance in an effective discussion about competitive performance in team sports programs. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
