Document Summary

Intimidation: team tryout, coach: most of you not good enough for this team, won"t make team, have to impress, show deserve to play . Threats: player makes error, coach threatens: you better get your shit together . Criticism: coach: worst performance seen; if you can"t do better then leave . Criticism and sarcasm: hey hands of steel, need sticky tape to catch? or my mama can catch better . Physical abuse: you guys stunk in that game; next practice we"re doing suicides . Attempt to induce short-term changes in behaviour: forced change results in short-term benefits. Individuals don"t take part in sport to be: intimidated, threatened, criticized, humiliated, abused. Shortcoming #1: only short-term effects: behaviour changes until source of threat removed, once removed incentive to persist is minimal. Shortcoming #2: extrinsic vs. intrinsic: threat creates extrinsic incentive/motivation, reason for behaviour is external reward rather than internal reward related to satisfaction from activity, over time motivation cannot persist.
