One of the critical differences between a champion athlete and an also-ran entails how they are able to maintain intensity of effort over time. Elite athletes such as 45-year-old sprinter Merlene Ottey, who competed in her 7th Olympics in Athens 2004, have the propensity to direct their energies extremely effectively. We will be examining how motivation contributes to success for masters athletes and suggest some motivational techniques which you can tailor to your athletes’ needs. The two types of motivation Two main types of motivation determine athletes’ behaviours. Those who are driven by factors external to participation such as prize money, a trophy or to be revered by the fans, will usually gain greater satisfaction from such rewards than they will simply from playing their sport. This is known as extrinsic motivation. Some athletes compete well under negative pressure, such as a threat from their coach if they do not perform up to scratch. This is also a common form of extrinsic motivation; it works through notifying the athlete that if they are not willing to give maximal effort, they will lose favour or be dropped from the team.

  • ELAINE on the DOUBLE! Jamaica's Elaine Thompson-Herah Made
    ELAINE ON THE DOUBLE! Jamaica's Elaine Thompson-Herah made history on Tuesday, August 03 at the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan with an eye popping 200 metres victory. The 29 year-old sprinter broke a 30 year-old national record set by Merlene Ottey and became the first woman to win the 100 and 200 metres double, twice at the Olympics. Her performance extended the nation's fine tradition in the 200 metres. A 21.66 second personal best in the semi-final proved to be a preview of things to come. In the final Thompson-Herah exploded from the blocks, glided around the turn and reached the straight ahead of compatriot Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce. She kept going strongly to finish in 21.53 seconds, the second fastest time in history. The previous Jamaican record of 21.64 seconds - was set by Ottey in 1992, a year before Elaine was born. Behind Thompson-Herah, Fraser-Pryce was run down first by Namibian Christine Mboma who took the silver with a World Under 20 record of 21.81 seconds and USA champion Gabrielle Thomas, Shelly-Ann finished the race in fourth position despite her second fastest time over the distance - 21.94 seconds “It’s been a rough week,” said Thompson-Herah. “I’m super tired, I hardly slept after the 100m. My legs really need a rest now because we ran two rounds of the 200m in one day yesterday, which isn’t normally the case. To run a national record, I’m so, so happy.” Matched her 100 metres title defense on July 31, Thompson became the first woman in Olympic history to win the sprint double twice.
