Motivation can make all the difference in the world - literally!

If one is not interested in an activity, then one will hardly bother to get one's body into action upon it. His/her mind will be far away from the job or requirement at hand.

Obviously, there are differing levels of interest and motivation towards achieving what one is called upon to do in life.

Generally, as one forgets oneself, and invests/sacrifices him/herself into/for the job at hand, one will start to lift his/her game and his/her efforts and outcomes lift as a result. On the other hand, as one becomes self-engrossed or a maker of excuses for poor performance, the motivation is more there in the direction of making these excuses than it is towards carrying out all on-hand execution necessary for an outstanding, winning performance.

A highly motivated person would be more eager to give a better performance than a lowly motivated one with the same skills. Likewise, a person who has less skill but more motivation can train to be better than another who has more skill but is not sufficiently motivated enough to put in 100% of effort.

However, motivation does not automatically mean that sports performance is increased. The source of 'big flops' can be a lack of motivation, over confidence or/and over motivation. Over motivation means that a person is so motivated to perform that he mentally outperforms his physical limits and flops.

However, motivation does not mean that sports performance is definitely increased. The source of big flops are a lack of motivation, over confidence and over motivation. Over motivation means that a person is so motivated to perform well that he outperforms his limit and flops.

You really need to be motivated to participate in sport. You will normally be motivated by your coaches, teachers, and even your parents. They'll motivate you to try and improve your performance.

Motivation will drive you to excel in the sport you play. The man who does well in a sport but has no motivation will eventually hit a wall and will cease to improve. The man who has confidence and motivation will improve and continue to do better and go above and beyond. Good motivation could be to tell yourself you're not perfect. You should always drive yourself to do better and come as close to perfect as your physically can. Believing your perfect leaves no room for error or improvement, so you also eventually hit a wall there too.
