Motivation (Introduction)
Although
riders may wish it were different, you don't buy motivation at the store and
take a pill of it in the morning. By understanding what makes you tick and why
you're doing what you're doing, you may improve your performance.
What We’re Talking About
Motivation is something that causes a person to act.
It is the ability to focus on a goal and work toward that goal, regardless of
physical ability. It is willpower.
Motivation has two important elements: direction and
intensity. Direction is the choice of goal. Intensity is how
energized the individual is toward that goal. Intensity, which is related to
psychic energy, is influenced by emotion.
