  1. Struggle is not an option- Biological Requirement

  2. NEUROLOGY OF MOTIVATION Leslie Cordova-Trujillo PE 712 Harbor College

  3. Reward • What is motivation? • In the brain • Survival mechanism • Need or Desire • Drives or Incentives • “Internal comparison of potential outcomes” ...REWARD • Motivation is Movement • Fulfilling • Produce pleasure • Create a sense of loss when missing • Q1 & Q2

  4. Motivation is a Trainable Skill • Function of Neural Re-Training • “Your life will ALWAYS adapt to EXACTLY what you DO…” • Every problem is a Motivation problem • Pain….struggle • Weakness…..no support • Poor coordination….not understanding

  5. Motivation & Startle Reflex • Sweet Spot: edge of your capabilities • productive, uncomfortable terrain located just beyond our current abilities, where our reach exceeds our grasp. • Ignition: set of signals & subconscious forces • moments that lead us to say “that is who I want to be” • FEAR: • AMBIVALENCE • INERTIA • EXCUSES • RATIONALIZATIONS • JUSTIFICATIONS • Can startle spark motivation? Q3

  6. Assessments • Stages of Change (Prochaska, Norcross, DiClemente) Q4 • Precontemplation • Contemplation • Preparation • Action • Maintenance • Termination (Relapse & Recycle) • Motivational Interviewing (Rollnick, Miller, Butler) • Importance Ruler & Confidence Ruler

  7. 4 High-Payoffs • Test • Invest • Accountability • Fun

  8. Motivational Teaching Protocol (Coyle) • Deep Practice of Motivation • Pick a goal • Reach for it • Evaluate the gap between goal & reach • Return to pick a goal • Motivational Fuel: • energy, passion, commitment • Motivational Language • Speaking to the ground-level effort • Affirming the struggle • Praise effort • We learn in staggering baby steps

  9. MASTER COACHES • Teach Love: • Make it desirable & fun • Master Coaches: • Knowledge, recognize, connect • Coach’s true skill: • supple ability to locate the sweet spot on the edge of each individual’s ability • & to send the right signals to help the student reach toward the right goal over & over.

  10. Four Important Stages for methods using cognitive strategy: • EXPLORATORY Phase: Making the athlete aware of the cognitions (perceptions, assumptions, thoughts) that lead to particular emotional and physical states. • EDUCATIONAL Phase: Athlete discovers the thoughts they evoke are self-defeating and irrational. • TREATMENT Phase: Introduces the athlete to different techniques (relaxation, positive self-talk, imagery) that can be used to help cope or change their cognitions. • STRATEGY Phase: The clinician and the athlete work together to implement the newly developed strategies for dealing with anxiety.

  11. Five Issues to facilitate intrinsic motivation: • 1:Using VERBAL and NON-VERBAL feedback. • 2: Ensuring some SUCCESS. • 3: Increasing individual RESPONSIBILITY. • 4: Providing a variety of practice EXPERIENCES. • 5: Using GOAL-SETTING appropriately.

  12. What kind of life are you designing?What are you sculpting?What are you pruning?"Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire & begin at once, whether you're ready or not, to put this plan into action!" -Napoleon Hill
