Direction of effort motivation when the individual seeks out, approaches or is attracted to certain situations. Intensity of effort motivation refers to how much effort an individual put fourth in a situation. Both of these can be over done to the point where they are harmful to the athlete and take away from they"re game. The best way to understand motivation is to consider both the person and the situation and how the two interact. Guidelines to motivation: consider both situations and traits in motivating people. To enhance motivation, you must analyze and respond not only to a players personality but also to the interaction of personal and situational characteristics. Because motivations may change over time, you should continue to monitor people"s motives for participation even months after they"ve begun.
