The understanding of motivational processes is undoubtedly one of the topics that has always aroused the interest of sports psychology scholars.
Once they asked the great mountaineer George Mallory (1886-1924) why he wanted to climb Everest and he answered “Because is there.”
In few words he explained the inwardness and intensity of the motivation but it will take decades to begin to understand what it is; what it is “this hypothetical construct used to describe the internal and/or external forces that produce the beginning, direction, intensity and persistence of behavior” (Vallerand and Thill, 1993).
To reflect, what is your concept of:
- Commitment
- Difficulty of the task
- Impossible is nothing! Is it true or not? And why?
- How do you learn to set short and long-term goals?
