PD/H/PE -- help!? (1 Viewer)

[eve.]

Okay, so there is a syllabus outcome for Factors Affecting Performance, it is under the dot point Motivationn and it says....

[FONT=&quot]"Research case studies of a number of athletes to ascertain the nature of their motivation and the psychological strategies they employ."
[/FONT]
...but I can't seem to find anything that would help me learn/study this outcome in my school work book or text book.

So i was wondering if anyone can help me with this or has any useful information on it?

Thanks,

Eve

Hey eve,

You might find your answer better answered in the PDHPE forum

But anyway. For this dot point my teacher gave the class an article about a couple who are triathletes. Its called "Love conquers all" and we have to examine the use of motivation in both athletes's lives', which has led to them continuing in the sport (extrinsic, intrinsic, social, material etc...). Also we have to recommend psychological strategies that would be useful to manage anxiety for a triathlete. (goal setting, relaxation... etc)

Hi,
Thanks for replying, that's helpful...though I don't think the link you gave me works...

Its just the website for the Gold coast bulletin where the article is originally from, but it doesn't seem to be listed anymore.


This one is similar to the article, it has the same couple featured:

Triathlete Emma wins Craig's heart - Titans NRL News - Gold Coast, QLD, Australia

But you can really apply it to any article you choose, just cover the motivation dot point and managing anxiety.
