Review of Selected Theories
It is proposed that achievement goal theory is an approach to motivation that establishes one’s goals as intrinsic motivation. A connection exists between goal difficulty, level of performance and the effort that’s involved. This relationship will remain positive if the person is dedicated to the goal, can succeed and doesn't have incompatible goals. Goal theory states that many circumstances will have great significance in successful achievement. These include accepting goals and being fully committed to your goal specifics while being realistic with goal difficulty and receiving feedback from your coach (Schunk, Meece, Pintrinch, 2014).
Achievement goal theory approach uses three factors; achievement goals, …show more content…
Intrinsic motivation regarding commitment to an activity because of the ingrained satisfaction and pleasures it produces. The strengths of the self-determination theory are that many physical activities are satisfying without requiring exogenous recognition or incentives to complete a task.
Disadvantages of self-determination theory have been found to show that athletes who realise they are going to be assessed based on their performance have a low sense of self-determination, as an outcome, and are less intrinsically motivated(Ormrod,2008).
Findings have shown athletes to undermine their own feeling of self-determination solely by visualising that others may be assessing their performance. In research of intrinsic motivation, it has been presented by a variety of beneficial studies with inconsistent results. In two investigations that involved college students, intrinsic motivation declined when rewards were task contingent, each puzzle fulfilled received another dollar, but not when they were task non-contingent. The students were paid for attending, regardless of how many puzzles they …show more content…
However, sequential standpoint of the activity proposes that enhanced performance can be accomplished through an organised, correlated and progressive process.
Inside this frame of understanding, two types of models have come to light, those ‘for’ and ‘of’ the coaching process. Models ‘of’ the procedure are constructed on factual research investigating expert and/or successful coaching practice, in comparison to models ‘for’ the coaching process are impractical portrayals that emerge from the identification of a set of speculations about the process (Fairs, 1987).
Research by Crisfield, Cabral and Carpenter (2005) demonstrates how sport can contribute immensely to the growth of athletes as individuals not just physically but socially and emotionally. This can only happen if the sport is coached by someone who is informed and enlightened and who works within the accepted ethical
