1. Analyze your own motivation. Do you believe you were born with a level of motivation – inherited from parents or did you learn it somewhere? Are you motivated across all areas and situations? If, not then what makes you motivated in some instances yet not in others? Can motivation levels be taught or increased?
As a coach, how would you deal with the situation where some of your players are motivated to get better at their skills and have a drive to make it to the championship games yet other players on the team don’t seem to care and are there for the fun of being part of a team?
2.Does confidence breed success or does success breed confidence? Meaning, do you need to be confident first in your ability before you even try something new and possibly achieve success OR do you need to achieve a bit of success first at a task before you will feel confident?
As a coach how would you build the confidence of a young athlete who has never won a tennis match?
3.Do a search on youtube for All black’s HAKA. Watch this ritual. Why do you think they perform this ritual? As you watched their pregame performance what were your feelings? Would it effect your anxiety to watch an opposing team perform this ritual before a game?
4.What does control the controllables mean to you? Choose a situation in your life that is causing you anxiety or has caused you anxiety in the past. Analyze how you could have controlled the controllables.
As a coach how can you apply the concept of controlling the controllables?
5. There is a lot of research on homefield advantage. Do you believe the home audience effects players confidence for the better or worse?
