Intimidation and Motivation

Last Tuesday, Dr. Stoll spoke to you all about intimidation and motivation in sport. She discussed Bob Knight and John Wooden, among others, and the difference in their styles of motivation---and---the use of intimidation as a motivational tactic for coaches. Do a little research---either from your text or on-line---to distinguish between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Further, explain the link between intimidation and both forms (intrinsic and extrinsic) of motivation---your opinion here. Lastly, describe how you might have experienced being coached through fear and intimidation or through positive reinforcement and how it effected your performance relative to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
