Definitions

La extrinsic motivation comes from outside. In a padel match, it can be linked to the praise received after a match, or at prize money corresponding to victory.

La intrinsic motivation is born from the proper individual executives, team leaders and professionals. It generates pleasure to the individual simply by having this behavior.

Reflection applicable to padel

“You have to understand that neither of these two motivations is better than the other. Both are needed, and each person tends to be more motivated by one than the other, ” details us Eli.

“In psychology, it is shown that the intrinsic motivation is related to perseverance. In the long run, it is easier to motivate yourself with something that gives pleasure to the individual. ”

Eli Amatriain therefore invites us to seek our motivation within us.

“It is very important to try to improve as a player. Intrinsic motivation will allow us to manage our frustrations. While the extrinsic motivation to win a match is not up to us. ”

The champion's advice

“To feel motivated, you have to change the “I must”, “I should”, by “I want” or “I would like”. It is lighter and is completely up to us, ” concludes Eli.
