CHAPTER 3

MOTIVATION

You have to recognize where you are but not lose the vision of where you want to go.

We start with motivation.

When you think of the role of a coach, what is one of the first things that should be in any coach’s job description? What is one of the top qualities? The ability to motivate. “Influence” is another term we often hear. I’ve heard leadership guru John Maxwell make this statement: “Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less.”ssss1 Influence is the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something. To affect the character … the development … the behavior.

So, it seems that a coach’s capacity to motivate someone is of utmost importance to his or her effectiveness as a leader and a coach. Earlier, I shared the Alpine Institute study that found that only 36 percent of coaches have effective motivational technique training. If you are going to be truly effective at any level of coaching, then increasing your capacity to positively motivate people is an imperative skill for succeeding with your players and teams. If we understand that one of our primary roles is that of a motivator, then to be effective as a coach, leader, and motivator we need to get to know people and understand what motivates them.
