Motivate Me?

Motivation is something athletes are always seeking, but can be elusive to obtain. Motivation can put a lesser skilled athlete onrepparttar podium standing over his more gifted and talented peers. It isrepparttar 133125 life blood of training. Simply put motivation is how much an individual wants to achieve a goal, but sources of motivation can be as varied as athletes.

It is important to ask yourself why you are training. Is it to get physically fit, for fun, a challenge, social interaction, build confidence, to learn a skill, or to compete and win? You may train for a combination of these reasons or for a completely different reason. What you do not want is to find yourself wondering why you are working toward a goal. Remind yourself why you train and visualizerepparttar 133126 outcome and rewards you will receive.

I often hear "I am waiting to get motivated." This implies that motivation will somehow come to a person like a divine wind. True motivation must come from within you. This is one ofrepparttar 133127 reasons children who are pushed too hard byrepparttar 133128 imposed ambitions of overzealous parents often lose interest in a sport. The child has lostrepparttar 133129 internal motivation to participate (fun) and generally does not stay involved long term. People are motivated by accomplishment andrepparttar 133130 attainment of goals. Think of how motivated you are after you complete a race you have been training for. Motivation becomes hardestrepparttar 133131 furthest from your goal. This is when you have to really keep your long-term focus and regularly remind yourself ofrepparttar 133132 end reward.

One external motivating influence, however, is inspiration. We have all been inspired by someone in our lives. Lance Armstrong has inspired many to take uprepparttar 133133 sport of cycling. You may have participated in an MS 150 event because of a friend's battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Inspiration is an emotion that can cause us to aspire to greater levels of motivation. It reinforces our own personal reasons to work toward our goals.
