Knowing what drives you to compete as an athlete is huge because once this is understood, you can use it to your advantage.

Within sports, there are two distinct forms of motivation: extrinsic and intrinsic motivation.

Extrinsic motivation means you are driven by rewards and outcomes, while intrinsic motivation means you are driven more by the love for what you do.

In all reality, as an athlete, you will experience a combination of the two. Your job is to figure out which of these works best for you to focus on.

In this podcast, mental game coach, Eli Straw, discusses these two motivation types and shows you how you can increase motivation in sports.
