  2. Goal OrientationsThere are 2 perspectives of success (what we are motivated by). • 1.Task-oriented – focussing on learning new skills and on comparing performance with personal standards. • E.g. A task oriented golf player might be thinking ‘My last drive swung to the left. I’ll change my grip to send my drive straight’.

  3. Goal Orientations… • 2.Ego-oriented – focusing on defeating others and comparing one’s performance against that of other people. • E.g. An ego-oriented golf player might be thinking ‘My partner’s drive was 180metres. This time my drive will be 200metres.

  4. Goal Orientations… • Usually a person with a mix of orientations. •  Sports Psychologists believe that a high task orientation in combination with either high or low ego orientation is good for motivation. •  A strong focus on an ego orientation with a low task orientation is viewed as undesirable.

  5.
