Players Personal Identity

Identity development needs to be nurtured and

supported to ensure student-athletic achievement

Ensure that players become goal-oriented, self-confident,

and socially- and academically competent persons

Only when players begin to understand themselves

(strengths, weaknesses), their needs, and their goals

and can monitor and regulate their behavior can they

be athletically successful on the field

Youth Players Internal Psychological Needs Self-determination theory

Autonomy

Competence

Relatedness

Rather than asking, How can I motivate my players?,

coaches should ask themselves "How can I create the conditions within which my players will

motivate themselves?

Fun first, Fun second, Fun all the time

Winning is not the only thing


12/13

Never surrender greatness. Never allow that torch to dim. Inspite of all odds, believe and trust with a fury none will

doubt. Without this faith, one may hesitate when greatnessis but near. Live in this state of boldness; permit breath to

sear the lips with this conviction.

Regardless of the opponents might and posture, victory is butassured. So stand your ground, submerged in what is theinevitable. The glorious moment, the exact time, that the

opponent realizes,

I am up against greatness.
