EMJOSWhat is Motivation?
• Reasons why we do what we do• The unbreakable desire to succeed• Without motivation, actions have no meaning
I can feel the wind go by when I run. It feels good. It feels fast.
Evelyn Ashford 1984 Olympic 100m champion
A one second mistake is still not good enoughThierry Gueorgiou, 6 times WOC Middle Distance Gold Medallist
EMJOSStaying Motivated
• Goals• Belief• Overcoming Obstacles• A training plan/log• Coaches
Ask yourself: "Can I give more?". The answer is usually: "Yes".
Paul Tergat, Marathon world record holder 2003-2007
EMJOSSet Goals
• Have a SMART Goal• Something which excites you• Every bit of training you do is one step
towards it
If you can dream it, you can do it!Thierry Gueorgiou, 6 times WOC Middle Distance Gold Medallist
IMAGERY
EMJOSBelieve in Yourself
• Belief = “be in love with”• Love your sport• Without that 100% belief in yourself to
succeed you can’t achieve anything• Positive language
Under pressure you can perform 15% better or worse [than in training]
Scott Hamilton, gold medal figure skater
What if EVERY TIME it was BETTER?
EMJOSUse the Coaches
• Coaches are there to help you• They won’t chase you unless you chase them
first to show you want their help
A coach can be like an oasis in the desert of a runner's lost enthusiasm. Ken Doherty, 1928 Olympic Decathlon Bronze Medalist
EMJOSOvercome Obstacles
• “I messed up the first control, it ruined the rest of the race”
• “I’m tired and can’t be bothered”• “But it’s raining”• “I don’t have the time”• “Running is boring”• “I’m injured”These are what you see when you take your eyes
off your goal
EMJOSThink Positively
• “I messed up the first control, I’m going to forget about it and concentrate on spiking every remaining control”
• “I’m tired, but I know I can still go out there and win this race”
• “Running in the rain is actually quite fun”• “I’ll run back from school instead of catching the bus”• “Every step I take is one step closer to that win I want”These are what you see when you’re motivated, when
you know you can do it

EMJOSNever Give Up!
• Don’t be scared of making mistakes, but make sure that when you do you learn from them
I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
Michael Jordan, Basketball player
EMJOSLess is More
• Don’t overdo it• Do what is right to allow you to reach your
target
