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.

Intrinsic motivation is the personal enjoyment an athlete has for their sport. Whereas extrinsic motivation is a physical reward the community or coach gives an athlete for their accomplishments (a trophy or a letter on a letterman's jacket).
ReplyDeleteBoth of these forms of motivation can be linked by intimidation in that an athlete can be frightened by their own expectations, or the expectations people have for them. Personally I believe that extrinsic intimidation is the most prevelent because it is much more common for an athlete to become intimidated enough by his or her parents or coaches to render their performance. When an athlete is competing for themselves in order to make themselves proud of their accomplishments, they are much more successful.
As a swimmer, I have received both positive and negative reinforcement from my coaches. After every good swim I've had I've always received some kind positive reinforcement like a reward or congradulations from my coaches. However, on the flip side of that, in practice I would receive a lot of negative reinforcement by never being able to do my favorite sets until I made the sets my coaches wanted me to make.
I feel like this combination of both positive and negative reinforcement has made my athletic performance better. Through the positive reinforcement, I look forward to the extrinsic rewards from my coaches and family. While at the same time I push myself in practice everyday in order to satisfy myself with a set of my own. Each technique is equally important in my opinion.
When comparing intrinsic and extrinsic motivation you can see a difference in the definition. Intrinsic motivation is when someone does something because they want to; they get pleasure out of what they are doing. Extrinsic on the other had is doing something for the physical reward (trophy, pat on the back).
ReplyDeleteNow relating these two (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation) to intimidation is in my opinion seen as follows. First intimidation means making some one feel fearful or timid of another person. This can be either intentional or not. For example I have had some coaches that are great people, but to me they intimidate me to where I am afraid of them or what they will say or do if I were to fail. So in a situation like that I would use extrinsic motivation because I wouldn't be doing it for myself as in intrinsic motivation, I would be doing it for the reward.
I don't really participate in competitive sport any more, but I often use the intrinsic motivation to better myself at tennis even though I have no coach. I do have friends that are more skilled than I which motivate me in the extrinsic way because I want them to give me the reward of being accepted and some one that they would enjoy playing with. These positive and negative reinforcements have helped me grow not as a person, but better my skill in the sport.
Intrinsic motivation is more of a personal success based on personal goals as for extrinsic is the accomplishments that a coach or a group may give an athlete fo their accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteI think that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can be forms of intimidation because an athlete can be intimidated by failure of failure to reach a high goal set by them to reach a performance state. I think that extrinsic intimidation is just as bad because all athletes no matter what the level never wants to let their coach down and the goals that the coach has set for them could be itimidating if they are high enough.
As a junior in high school football i received every award that any player could get. So going into my senior season my coaches were always on me making sure that i was gonna be better than my junior year and it was very intimidating because i had to dig down to places that i did not know my body could go. But after a few weeks i saw myself getting better and now it was not my coaches intimidating me it was intrinsic intimidation. i was getting into my own head. but the season came up and got every award again and ended up getting arizona offensive player of the year.
Intrinsic motivation is when I would motivate myself by factors inside myself, like personal goals, or expectations, etc. Extrinsic Motivation come from someone else, like a coach, family members, or other players, anyone who tries to set goals and help drive you to reaching those goals. For me, Intrinsic motivation is more intimidating to me, because sometimes i find it hard to motivate myself to do what i know i am capable of doing, but when i think about what i have to do and what i should do, it scares me a little, and sometimes i back down from my own expectations, which isn't good. Extrinsic motivation is may be more itimidation towards other people, but in my personal experience, when someone is pushing me and motivating me, i do great things. I just need to be able to do that with Intrinsic motivation now...
ReplyDeleteFor example, my senior year in high school, our team was undersized in basketball, i was 6 1 and pretty much our tallest guy, and i wasnt really that built. I decided after my junior year to hit the weights hard, i got one of my friends who is a personal trainer, and worked out 5 days a week for about 8 months straight from summer to half way thru my senior season. He used to extrinsic motivation to fire me up and hit the weights hard, which led to me using my own intrinsic motivation. I led our team to the state championship and earned numerous of awards, including AP player of the year.
Intrinsic motivation is the enjoyment of the athlete because of their performance. As for extrinsic motivation is the reward that the community and/or coach gives you. An example that happened with me was that in high school I had a coach who I've known since I was a young kid. He yelled and and was strick because he was very passionate about basketball and does not play around. So he pushed his athletes to their potential everyday in practice which leads to great performance in games. He was very intimidating when I first seen him coach and I was scared to make a mistake in front of him. But that helped me throughout high school to become the athlete I am today. Taking criticism, the yelling, and proving to him that I can be a leader and be the best player that I can be. Most of my motivation through high school was from me. I had to be the one to put in the work and to better myself with the guidance of my coach. Believeing in what my teammates and coaches were saying and teaching me that was a push that I needed to get what I wanted and that was a scholarship to a university.
ReplyDeleteAlso the other motivational people that helped me get through basketball were my parents and the support of my family and close friends. They stuck with me and the team through all the criticism and bad talk that everyone else had to say about us and myself. At the end of the day, I became one of the elite players in the Bay Area in high school and in junior college I was a top player in California all because of the support and help of my coaches, teammates, and family.
When it comes to sports, intrinsic motivation is playing the game for the love of the game and extrinsic motivation is playing for the reward or benefit received by participating. When it comes to intimidation, both of these motivations can be affected. Intrinsic motivation can be altered by intimidation when the intimidation is purposeful. For instance when an opposing player is trash talking or playing extra physical with potential to harm you or your teammates, one can lose their enjoyment of playing the game. The opposing player is degrading the quality of the sport that you love and enjoy so much. This could cause you to lose focus or get frustrated, which is exactly reason this opposing player was intimidating you. Due to intimidation being the act of causing an individual experience fear, it can also alter extrinsic motivation. When one’s intimidation (fear) is greater than the reward they are playing for, the player will claim defeat. Having no extra ties to the game they will walk away when intimidation is above what they can handle and this intimidation varies depending on the player. I have been coached through intimidation. My coach use to sub out players when they did not perform to his standards. This frustrated me and made me not enjoy the game, nor did it help me perform better. The extrinsic award was my coach’s approval and playing time. I wanted to play but not for him. It was very stressful to play like this. I improved more when I was coached through positive reinforcement. My coach demonstrated this by encouraging me in and outside of practice. This continually reminded me that I was doing a good job and made we want to work harder to better myself and win games to make it to State.
ReplyDeleteMotivation can be separated into two categories. Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic. Intrinsic is being motivated by the love of the game and a feeling of self pride. Extrinsic is doing something for a reward like a medal. I see intimidation mainly linked to extrinsic motivation because a coach is going to use intimadation to get you to perform to win something. There is also a link to intrinsic motivation because you can be afraid losing that love you have for a game.
ReplyDeleteI had a high school soccer coach who never really used intimidation, but did have a good blend of positive and negative reinforcment. If we had a really poorly played game, we were on the field the next day at 5 am before school doing sprints or barefoot ball work. Once we did very well at a game and he canceled practice so we could go watch our volleyball team play. We were all individually motivated intrinsically, but as a team we were motivated extrinsically because we wanted to work at something, so our team mates would be rewarded.
Intrinsic motivation is playing for the love of the game that you experience while extrinsic motivation is playing for some type of physical reward like a prize or a trophy.
ReplyDeleteI think is linked to extrinsic motivation mostly because if you are in a team sport, your teammates and often coaches may try to motivate you because they want to win the reward more than they want to win for pride.
I have had a lot of different coaches throughout my life with all of the different sports I used to play. Some were good, some were bad. Some used motivation, some used intimidation, and some used both. The best coach I had was my baseball coach for my five years of American Legion baseball. He was the type of coach who made us feel good about our game and really pushed us to want to be better players through positive motivation. He wanted us to win, because it was a game, but he wanted us to have fun while winning. In practice he would do everything we did. If we ran, he ran. When we played catch, he played catch. When we had our off games, he let us know, but we respected him enough to where it wasn't negative. We took everything he told us as positive motivation. With his guidance and our hard work, we were damn good and our opponents knew it. He is an example of an intrinsically motivating coach.
Intrinsic Motivation is a feeling that makes you want to play better. It doesnt have anything to do with people around you, but rather what makes you as a person feel good. Extrinsic Motivation deals with motivation from what is going on in the environment around you. If you are playing hard because of a coach, then it is an extrinsic motivation. It could be intimidation if you are scared of the coach or a parent, but if the coach or parent is possitive it is most likely extrinic motivation.
ReplyDeleteI have played for coaches that were both very negative and intimidating and then coaches that were pretty positive and wanted us to succeed. I liked playing for the coaches that were more positive because I was more comfortable around them, but I have found that the teams that I have been on with an intimidating coach have actually played better.
My high school baseball coach was a complete jerk and was very intimidating, but we ended up winning a state championship with him and actually played really well. He has a very good track record as far as winning baseball games, he just isn't a very friendly person.
Intrinsic motivation is when I motivate myself personal goals i have set for myself or expectations that I have for myself. Extrinsic Motivation comes from another person or anyone else, family, or teammates, pretty much who ever is willing to help you out to reach your goals.
ReplyDeleteI have played for coaches who are intimidating and coaches who build your confidence up. Both positive and negative coaches. To me I have played good with any kind of coach. With negative coaches I kind of tune them out and do my own thing and do what is asked of me. with positive coaches I do the same exact thing as I with negative coaches.
For example, When my basketball coach yells at me and my team it really does not help me play better or play any worse because I am the kind of person who does not care what the coach says or thinks.
intrinsic motivation is basically playing the game that you enjoy and have fun doing. this should come from within. it's very intimidating to me when i'm not having fun. winning is the ultimate goal but, in order for me to perform to the best of my ability i must play hard and have fun at the same time. extrinsic motivation is when you're playing for something such as a trophy/reward; playing for more than just the love of the game. being a college athlete there's a lot responsiblity for an athlete as well as the coach. some coaches yell and curse their players when they repeat mistakes and the yelling sometimes frustrate the player and he/she doesn't perform to the best of their ability. I'm different, it actually motivates me to play harder to correct my mistakes.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic and extrinsic motivations are fundamentally opposing ideas. Where intrinsic motivation deals with striving to achieve a goal because you alone value that achievement and what it means to your development, extrinsic motivation deals with working to achieve a goal because of the value that society places on that achievement. Intimidation ha s a larger effect on someone’s extrinsic motivation, if a coach motivates by intimidation they are forcing the athlete to achieve a goal that for the most part has value in the outside world which is the definition of extrinsic motivation. The athlete may feel that their achievement has some intrinsic value but for the most part to a smaller degree than the extrinsic value. My fist year playing varsity high school football I was the youngest player on the offensive line and was therefore picked on and intimidated by the coaches and players most of the time. Because of this intimidation I was forced to push myself past were I believed my limits were. Due to this extrinsic motivation I improved as a player more that year than any other.
ReplyDeletethe undertaking of an activity, as a hobby, without external incentive; also, personal satisfaction derived through self-initiated achievemen for example: Intrinsic motivation is the motivation that comes from inside the performer. Extrinsic motivation is motivation to engage in an activity as a means to an end. Individuals who are extrinsically motivated work on tasks because they believe that participation will result in desirable outcomes such as a reward, teacher praise, or avoidance of punishment. I remember my first time football was in High School and I played quaterback and Linebacker. Some of my teammates intimidated me and I pushed my self with the help from my coaches and family and became one of the best linebackers in SoCal and won Offensive player of the year for two straight years.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is when my motivation comes from within a pleasure of succeding rather than an external source or any outside rewards. Extrinsic is just that...motivation for some sort of reward or prize or either fame/fortune. With intimidation I have been intimidated by one particular coach and the way he coached...but I thought it helped me to motivate myself to not let down the team or him being someone I truly respected. Another example was back in high school...i wasnt as intimidated from my coaches. Their style of intimidation didnt exist...I mean they were the positive enforcers even though things went wrong and even then i was motivated to not let them down as well as myself/teammates. So all in all with intimading coaches and non intimidating coaches i thought that i conducted the same manner. Personally I think I would need a negative reinforcer to put myself in check....GO BOBBY KNIGHT!!..ILL PLAY FOR HIM!
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic and extrinsic motivations are the opposites of each other. Intrinsic motivation is the will the to achieve something whether it be in school or on the playing field based on the satisfaction for that individual which is achieved. Along with that it is based on enjoyment found in doing any activity. As extrinsic motivation is based on an outside source pushing you to achieve a certain goal or reward that will ultimately benefit you and others. I think that intimidation is mainly linked to extrinsic motivation because you don’t want to let down your fellow teammates. I feel that most coaches will motivate through extrinsic motivation because they want to win and some might fear what will happen if the team doesn’t perform up too the standard of the coaches liking. On the other hand when someone is trash talking to me and I get all fired inside, cause their trying to intimidate me, that’s when I find that intrinsic motivation driving me to make that other person look bad making me feel better.
ReplyDeletePlaying thought out my childhood and now into college I have most been coached by guys who have used extrinsic motivation trying to reward the team upon success. I also can recall intimidation from coaches to have a good practice or game in fear of the punishment that might take place if it not achieved. Which I think helps motivate the team to do the best that we could. I have also participated on teams and been motivated to win solely based on intrinsic motivation. That’s when I was on ski teams; I loved skiing and loved knowing I could ski faster than my fellow teammates.
Intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation are two different types of motivation. Intrinsic is when you find motivation in yourself to do something. While extrinsic is when someone besides yourself motivates you to do something, like you coach or trainer. For me I would rather have someone pushing me to be the best that i can be, pushing me more than I ever thought I could do by myself. Intrinsic and extrinsic both intimidate me the same way I think, because sometimes its hard to motivate myself, and sometimes its not. With someone else motivating you can seem to be easier. For example i have played with coaches who are mellow and ones who are more intense. I would say i am better when i have a coach that is intense rather than being mellow because you can sometimes relax in practice when you know your coach is not going to say anything. When you have an intense coach you can never take a play off.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is motivation that stems from the love of the game and is the push to get better in the process of mastering the game. Extrinsic motivation is motivation that stems from the push to get better or to win because of the out come of the game such as a trophy, money or the praise from others for winning the game. Intimidation is a tactic that is used to motivate athletes to perform by putting the fear of losing or the fear of doing something wrong in them. With intrinsic motivation, intimidation often takes the love of the game out of the equation which can sometimes hinder the improvement process because it turns something positive into a negative thing. With extrinsic motivation, intimidation might push an athlete to want perform better because of the fear of the coach or the player that is intimidating. As football player in highschool, I had a qb coach that tried to motivate through intimidation. If there was something that went wrong during a play or a drill, he would try to put fear in us by yelling negative things, grabbing a face mask or promising us extra conditioning. It might have motivated me to not do what I just did wrong again but didn't really help me listen to the instruction on how to do it right because I was so focused on what went wrong and what not to do.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is a drive that comes from with in you. It is a passion that you want to push yourself harder and farther. Extrinsic motivation is the drive to win the state title and wear the state ring. It is something that is driving you from outside yourself.
ReplyDeleteIntimidation is someone making you fearful of not doing what they want. I feel that intimidation can ruin intrinsic motivation of a player. Great players have intrinsic motivation and if a coach tries to intimidate them it can make them hate the game because they play because of fear. Intimidation from an extrinsic motivation side could push the player to do better or work harder because of fear; I think this would lead to the player hating the game.
I have player for a lot of different coaches the best one I ever played for was a very positive coach. He would get upset when we made a mistake but he understood that we were beating ourselves up more. That is why he would just give us reminders about what to do and he would always end on a positive. He was a great coach and because he cared about us I wanted to win for him and for myself.
"Intrinsic motivation is the motivation that comes from inside the performer. That is, the athlete competes for the love of the sport (web)."
ReplyDelete"Trophies are also extrinsic incentives. Competition is often extrinsic because it encourages the performer to win and beat others, not to enjoy the intrinsic rewards of the activity (web)."
Intimidation can affect how a player reacts to the game, affecting the intrinsic motivation factors. If a player is scared for fearful of a punishment or other action they may feel over-motivated to perform well and may perform badly. If the player is intimidated into winning at all costs, the extrinsic factor such as an award may not be the cause for motivation but being fearful of the consequences.
I played for a coach who got in my face when I did something poorly but I fed off his energy. I think myself and the team knew how much our coach wanted us to succeed so when he would yell and cuss and throw things it was more of trying to get us to his energy level. It may sound like he was an awful coach but I truly felt that we fed off that energy instead of being intimidated.
The difference be extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is clear: Extrinsic motivation occurs when an athlete becomes motivated based on the “rewards” he/she might obtain. An example of this type of motivation would be when a high-school basketball player competes to get recognized enough to win a college scholarship. Intrinsic motivation occurs when an athlete becomes motivated based on love for the sport they play. An example of this motivation would be when a man runs because he enjoys the benefits of being in shape and for his love of being able to recreate in an outdoor environment.
ReplyDeleteIntimidation and motivation ( both ext. and int.) are interlinked all the time in competitive and recreational sport. An athlete might be intimidated by the expectations that are placed on him/her in the beginning of the season. This would be an example of how intimidation and extrinsic motivation are linked. On the other hand, a runner might be intimidated before a longer run than they usually go on, because they don’t think they are in good enough shape. (intrinsic and intimidation linked)
I had a lot of pressure put on me as I was entering high-school because both of my brothers had received All-state honors and college scholarships to play basketball. I took that pressure (from coaches, parents, classmates) and developed a strong work ethic in order to attain my (extrinsic) goal of receiving the same honors. After my junior year I still had not received All-state honors yet, so I gave up football my senior year to train for the up and coming basketball season. My hard work paid off and I finally received All-state honors and a college scholarship.
Intrinsic motivation is doing something for yourself because you are content with what you are doing, while extrinsic motivation is doing something for some kind of reward. When someone uses intimidation it would seem to motivate people who are extrinsically motivated, they would be working for a goal of the praise of a coach possibly. An intrinsically motivated person may not like intimidation from a coach and may not respond with much motivation because they aren’t playing to please a coach or get a reward, but rather for fun or because they find pleasure in what they are doing at the moment. I personally like an intimidating coach, but there is a line that must be walked with those coaches. They can be intimidating, but they still must show respect, praise, and the fact that they have the players back. These coaches are easy for me to play for because of the support they show and how proud you can feel when you get their praise.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is doing something that you love to do and it benefit yourself and extrinsic motivation is doing something for some kind of reward. Intimidation seems to motivate people by how their physical appearance and when they speak, the tone of vocie they have. I wasn't intimidated by any of my coach physicaly and mentally. I just know that they are there to help me and to make me better so if they yell at me and punish me for something i do wrong i think i diserve it and lesson learn. I treat all my coach with respect it seems that i am intimidated but i am not. I am here to learn what they have to offer and to play and follwer their rules.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation happens when someone participates in sport for reason outside of extrinsic incentives. They may participate for the enjoyment of the game or for the enjoyment of competition. Extrinsic motivation occurs when there is an incentive involved in participation such as an award, a trophy, or money. Intimidation plays a factor in both types of motivation. Intrinsically, we may be fearful of failure and we may intimidated by this thought. In extrinsic motivation, intimidation may make us perform to higher level for cash considerations like bonuses or incentives. I have been coached through positive reinforcement and it allows positive growth in my game, but also lets me become aware of aspects I still need to work on. By knowing what things gets reinforced, and what parts don’t I know how to better myself athletically.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic and extrinsic motivation differs in many ways. Intrinsic motivation deals with a player having the desire to do well and to achieve their own personal goals. For example, there are athletes that play the sport for the passion, pleasure of exceeding well and working hard. Extrinsic motivation deals with a prize or reward that is given to an athlete who wins it. Money is one of the greatest things that most athletes play their sports for. One of the ways that intimidation plays a role on extrinsic motivation is that trying to receive a college scholarship will allow the player to work hard and earn it. Rather than not worrying about it, stressing, and being scared to do well. Intrinsic motivation or intimidation will help the athlete to just try their best and to make them to just do what they love to do. If athletes just play their sport for the love, passion, and satisfaction, then intimidation shouldn't effect them in any negative way. As for my own personal experience, my current coach doesn't intimidate me in any negative way. The only rewards that I can receive for golf is just a pad on the back and just feeling satisfied that I'm working hard and playing well. So both concepts of motivation is in affect. intrinsic motivation on the other hand has more of an impact on my sport and my personal life. there are things going on right now with my family that affects the way I play the game. When I am playing well in practice and tournaments, I feel great and content that I'm heading in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is when a person does something because it makes them happy or gives them satisfaction, without external incentives such as money or rewards. Extrinsic motivation is driven by these external incentives. These incentives can be as simple as money or a trophy, but can be motivated by negative things such as coercion or fear of punishment.
ReplyDeleteIntimidation used as extrinsic motivation may be affective, but in terms of sport, i think it's unprofessional and unacceptable. When dealing with athletes, especially student athletes, there are better ways of motivation that deal in the positives, instead of the negatives. In my opinion, intrinsic motivation does not deal with intimidation. I tried to think of ways a person might intimidate themself, but came up with nothing that I agree with.
Playing hockey, I had two very different coaches. The positive one helped us to recognize our own mistakes. He also challenged us to better ourselves every shift on the ice by changing what we did wrong earlier. He would get upset sometimes, but he always be constructive and end with something we did good. As intrinsic motivation, this was successful because he made us want to do good, not just for him but for ourselves. The negative coach threatened to bench us if we missed one practice. Yes, attendance is important, but in high school sports, benching a player because of one missed practice for a dentist's appointment is ridiculous and unfair. That only bred feelings of dislike for this coach by the entire team, and since we didn't like the coach or his attitude, we didn't respect him (which i think was the reason he tried to be a hardass, so we'd respect him). Nobody was sad to see him go at the end of the season, but also nobody learned anything that helped them later in their skating career. He did nothing but bring the moral of the team down and make us feel bad about ourselves. As extrinsic motivation, this was unsuccessful. It didn't make anyone perform better.
intrinsic motivation is a form of motivation with in and extrinsic motivation is a different form of motivation it more of an outward motivation. For example of an intrinsic motivation.. I personally motivate myself with in everyday by looking at the man in the mirror and asking him have you done everything in your power to be the best that you can be. Heres an example of extrisic motivation...I get motivated by rewards for exapmle what pushes me to go hard in football is for a bowl ring which is a form of outwrd motivation
ReplyDeleteIndimidation and Motivation. Intrinsic Motivation is when the individual athlete gets pleasure out of his or her success in athletics. Extrinsic Motivation is the pleasure or compliments that you recieve for high achievments in athletics.
ReplyDeleteAs a player of three sports in High School and football in college I have had several different coaching styles and different ways of copeing with motivation and intimidation. In High school my football coach tought us the be the Hitter and not the hittee on and off the field. Not a form of being cocky but being confident and not letting other players and coaches intimidae you in any way.
I have recieved rewards from both self satisfaction and from team/coach satisfaction. These are also somthing that has motivated me
For me motivation is when I push myself to achieve the goals that I determined it. Also motivation can come from another person or somebody else, such as family, friends, or teammates, pretty much whoever is trying to make yourself better to improve and achieve your goals.
ReplyDeleteI played basketball for coaches who are intimidating and coaches who construct confidence on you. Those two types of coaches positive and negative helped me to improve my own style, with positive coaches I had more success because I am very spontaneous guy so it is works better for me, with negative it was a little hard but I did understand the typed of coach I had to face it so I did good with him too. I am also a type of player who does not care what the coach says, for instance when the coach got mad and yells at me I try to take that as a constructive thinking and push myself harder and harder.
Seemingly knowing anbody who watches college basketball knows that the two coaches have different styles of coaching, Bob Knight is the kind of guy who is in your face yelling stand up on the bench and get you going. Coach Wooden is the type who is on the bench with the rolled up piece of paper quietly watchning and you know secretly that those eyes are burning a hole through the back of your head.
ReplyDeleteI think some coaches bring the best out in there players when they intimatdate there players, but I also think there should be a level of respect for one another. You can get a lot more out of a player if they feel like you have confidence in them and not just fear.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is the motivation that comes from inside the athlete, the athlete competes for the love of the sport. Extrinsic motivation are motivational factors that come from an outside factor, such as money or the crowd at a game.
ReplyDeleteSome players can intimidate themselves before a performance and it could either benfit the athlete or make the athlete nervous. In that case that could be the only factor playing in this athletes performance, some players can tune out a crowd or an intimidating coach and they only listen to what is inside their own head. As for other athletes, the coach and crowd could be the only thing playing in their own game.
In the past I have dealt with intimidating coaches and some coaches that use positive reinforcement. In my opinion, both coaching styles can work for any athlete.

First, motivation can be intrinsic or extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is when you want to do something. Extrinsic motivation is when somebody else tries to make you do something. In sports, the crowd may cheer the performer on, and this motivates him or her to do well. Trophies are also extrinsic incentives. Competition is often extrinsic because it encourages the performer to win and beat others, not to enjoy the intrinsic rewards of the activity. There is positive and negative motivation. Positive motivation is when you want to get something - motivation towards some goal. Negative motivation is away from something you want to avoid, and also positive and negative can applied to intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. However both of these forms of motivation can be linked by intimidation in that an athlete can be frightened by their own expectations, or the expectations people have for them. Personally I believe that extrinsic intimidation is the most prevalent in sports because it is more common for an athlete to become intimidated enough by his or her parents or coaches to render their performance. I have played for coaches who are intimidating and coaches who help me build my confidence up, but at this point I think that the both ways can help athlete to play their best.
ReplyDeleteExtrinsic Motivation is when people are motivated by rewards or punishment . If the situation is where student thinks that she/he has equal distributing the rewards or punishment. Extrinsic motivation makes us do things for tangible rewards. For example I win matches because I will be rewarded by coach and by other people. I will get proud from what I did. I win only for rewards and to get something from my win.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is when you win and you know you do it for fun. You do it because you like to do it. Also you believe that it is right to do it. Also it is when athlete enjoys what he/she does.
Extrinsic Motivation it comes from outside the competitor. Rewards is the most popular example. In sport cheering can put athlete to the top that is what helps athlete to perform better. Trophies is also a good extrinsic incentives. Competition is more Extrinsic because athletes are winning in order to get famous or get some rewards or ranking.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is usually when people engage an activity like hobby. Student should be enjoying doing it. You do not expect to get back from intrinsic motivation you do it for yourself. If you winning you do it for yourself because it is pleasure to win. They are not interesting in what they will get for it they just do it for yourself. For example they do not care about grade they care about getting good knowledge. It comes from inside the performer. Athletes compete because they love it.
Motivation is the set of reasons that determines one to engage in a particular behavior. Therefore, there are many kind of motivation which move people to do or avoid something, such as Extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the performer. Money is the most obvious example, but coercion and threat of punishment are also common extrinsic motivations. Intrinsic motivation is when people engage in an activity, such as a hobby, without obvious external incentives. In these kind of motivation there is like an internal power to motivate people to achieve their goals without expecting any kind of rewards. These two kinds of motivation can be linking to athletes to achieve their goal. From my point of view, intimidation is more related to extrinsic motivation because these form of motivation come from external forces, like reward or coercion. Thus, some coaches or parents use this kind of force (intimidation) to treats athletes to perform better.
ReplyDeleteAs a runner, I would say that I have had coaches who use only intrinsic motivation to help me out to improve my athlete’s skills. They have taught me the value of sport love. They taught that the motivation must come from your heart first, instead of getting a reward. They also ask me this question, if there is not any kind of reward would you like to still running? If your answer is yes, is because you know the values of the sports. They always encourage me to workout to I grow up as an athlete .Therefore ; I would say I am a lucky guy for having these kinds of coaches. I think, the real essences of being an athlete is have intrinsic motivation to love what you are doing without expecting any kind of reward (extrinsic motivation).
Intrinsic motivation is when someone engages in a sport of their enjoyment for the love it and not the external incentives. Extrinsic motivation is things such as trophies, money, crowd cheering someone on and many more. I believe intimation is more linked with extrinsic motivation rather then intrinsic. When coaches set goals for you that can become intimidating because you feel the need to meet there expectations for you. Although I think extrinsic motivation is more intimidating for the majority of people, I don’t find it to be personally. Coaches pushing me or setting high goals for me makes me work harder and as a result of it I end up becoming a better person. Although they pushing me extrinsically help it also helps me intrinsically because I start pushing myself inside and I enjoy seeing personal improvement.
ReplyDeleteCoach Erickson was always real good at coaching me with positive reinforcement. My first college game against Michigan State coach Erickson started me in the slot, I was young energetic and very inexperienced. He told me before the game that he was starting me because I believed I was best at the position and he challenged me to play as if I was a veteran. I ended up having a pretty solid game 4 catches and around 50 yards. However on one play I had a chance to make a pretty tough catch, a catch you would want to make, a catch that is catchable but difficult at the same time. When watching film he told me “max you had a good game and I was happy with your performance, but that’s a catch that I know you’re capable of making and I know that next time you get an opportunity to make that catch you will.” This helped me intrinsically because of the positive reinforcement.
for me extrinsic motivation comes from all the things on the outside. the main thing that motivate me is the competition. i love to compete and i hate to lose so when i get challenged i always try to bring my "A" game.
ReplyDeleteintrinsic motivation for me is all about me trying to make me better. i always want to make my family proud and that is the main thing that motivates me. i also want to be better for myself and always win.
intrinsic motivation is when an athlete does a sport for enjoyment and love of the sport you are performing in, and not for goods, fame, and glory.extrinsic motivation is playing a sport for things like money, cars, and girls.
ReplyDeletei believe intimidation is more linked to extrinic motivation then that of intrinsic. with extrinsic motivation you are pressured more by outside forces such as appoval from peers and coaches to sucseed at a higher level. with intrinsic you are motivated by the love of the sport and enjoy playing it just to play it.
i believe i use both forms of motivation in the sport i play, but i feel that extrinsic pushes me to a higher level because i am get motivated and pushed by me fellow team mates to "one-up" them or go the extra step to preformm better on the playing feild. something i have always thought of through out sports is ... "if im not doing something to make myself better, the person i am going to compete against is." i feel approaching any sport this way pushes a person to go the extra mile in whatever they are doing. another outside pressure when it comes to sports is representing my school, family and friends in a way that they would be proud of what i do on the playing feild, to let any of these three things down would be a disapointing thing for me to do.
intimidation is in both forms of motivation, for extrinsic motivation you could be intimiadated by failing to do your job in a championship game that could make your team a conference champ. in intinsic motivation you could be intimidated to preform at the standard you expect to compete in in a compedtition or game
The distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic is a distinction between the types of characteristics an object might have. Intrinsic characteristics are those which an object has by its very nature, regardless of its situation or circumstances. Extrinsic characteristics are those which an object has solely in relationship to other objects and/or its environment. and i have been affected by coaches that are totally different. i feel that the coaches that yell and scream i dont respond well to at all. because they dont give me any reason to want to win for them. i always want to win for myself and my team. but when a coach is motivated about coaching and not yelling at you for everything but teaching after your mistake. and you dont want to mess up anymore because they helped you out instead of taking you out of your game.
ReplyDeleteIntrinsic motivation is where a person finds the drive and will within himself for personal satisfaction, while extrinsic motivation is when someone plays for things like money, accessories, etc.
ReplyDeleteIntimidation is a factor and plays a part in both types of motivation. Pressuring yourself to do well can be a part of the intrinsic side, while coaches, media, and family can be the extrinsic factor.
I have gone through plenty of examples where I used and was affected by intrinsic and extrinsic motivators. During last football season, I had to practice every day with the mindset of doing great so that I could get more opportunities to play come gamne day. This intrinsic motivation was there because I knew I would have to make plays if I wanted to earn a scholarship at the end of the year. Extrinsic motivation magnified this even more because I knew what my financial situation was like back home, so I wanted to do it for my family as well.
Intrinsic motivation is doing something for yourself because you are content with what you are doing, while extrinsic motivation is doing something for some kind of reward. When someone uses intimidation it would seem to motivate people who are extrinsically motivated, they would be working for a goal of the praise of a coach possibly. An intrinsically motivated person may not like intimidation from a coach and may not respond with much motivation because they aren’t playing to please a coach or get a reward, but rather for fun or because they find pleasure in what they are doing at the moment. I personally like an intimidating coach, but there is a line that must be walked with those coaches. They can be intimidating, but they still must show respect, praise, and the fact that they have the players back. These coaches are easy for me to play for because of the support they show and how proud you can feel when you get their praise.
ReplyDeletefor me intimidation and motivation works hand in hand i believe that when someone is intimated its motivates you to find something within you deep down inside your body to beat whatever that intimates you.
