Week 5_ Blog 3

In chapter 9, motivation is the degree to which an individual is personally committed to expanding effort in the accomplishment of a specific activity or goal. A leader can communicate to its employees by providing information or feedback on tasks, goals, performances and also give them future direction or by communicating encouragement, empathy and concern. As a coach it is important that I motivate them especially in these forms. Whether they are doing a cheer, a routine, or a stunt, I have to give them feedback and constructive criticism so they know where and how to improve. I also must always give encouragements so that they would what to try harder and concern and empathy when it is need.

I completly agree with you about motivation. The saying "otivation is the key" wuoldn't been such a popular saying if is wasn't true would it? I have grown up playing sports, and every team I've been on, and squad I've been in, motivation was definitely part of our success. I actually had a coach once that would do nothing but complain about us, to us, and bad mouth the team. Needless to say, it was the worst I had ever played in my life.
