On one side, players and fans were ranting, chanting and raving with exultation of victory. On the nt other side, heads were bowed. Some players were stooped over in anguish and tears as they experienced the frustration and disappointment of losing a game that would have sent them to the 5A State Finals Friday at the University of Utah. Unfortunately, the feelings were experienced by players in red and white, while the jubilant emotions were displayed by the boys in blue from Fremont. The final: Fremont 13, Bountiful 9. All the points of this semifinal contest were scored in the final quarter. The Braves had chances to put points on the board early, but a fumble at the Femont line on the first series of the game proved to be a bad omen for the team from Davis County.

This is completely different than external rewards where the reward comes from someone else or is outside of the athlete such as an award or some type of recognition. While these rewards can be motivational their effect will depend on the frequency, the feedback they provide, and their meaning to the athlete. Another motivation myth is that poor performance is caused by a lack of motivation. Poor performance or inconsistency is most often caused by an inability to control the physical, cognitive, and environmental aspects of a performance. This can be due to over activation, anxiety about outcomes, lack of information, inappropriate focus on environmental cues, an emphasis on outcomes rather than performance, or a loss of self-estee- m Yblleyball When approached correctly motivation can be the most dynamic and valuable personal asset that an athlete brings to the competitive arena.

When these are addressed motivation does increase as performances improve. A . third myth postulates that increasing emotion and intensity will increase motivation. Increased emotion or intensity will only interact with motivation that is already present. Motivation is the result of decisions an athlete makes about their control of a situation, their perception of their skills or competence, and the evaluation of the ratio of Winter Games offers clinics To.feel the thrill of winning an Olympic event, one can train an entire lifetime. He can work, sweat, and push his body to its physical limits, with the hopes of one day being the best. Or, he can put his current talent to the test against some of Utahs best amateur athletes in the 10th annual Utah Winter Games. Its that time of year again. The stimulating, brisk weather has returned, ushering in another season of exciting Utah winter sports. With the Utah Winter Games cele- brating its 10th anniversary of bringing the community together in winter events, participation has never been easier. This years Games run from Jan. 3 to Jan. 21. Its a snowball effect, said Anne Marie Jensen, executive director at the Utah Winter Games. Especially this year, with the 10th anniversary, more people will experience the thrill of competing in the Winter Games. Its a chance for local athletes to meet challenges in a competitive atmosphere. This year, events take place from Logan to Cedar City at various winter sports facilities. Taking part in the events will give athletes a chance to become familiar with Olympic facilities. This years events range from snowboarding to ice hockey, and alpine ski racing to ski jumping. With separate divisions for all skill levels, each athlete will have the opportunity to showcase his or her talents. The Utah Winter Games was founded in 1986 by Governor Bangerter to provide a recreational competition where all ages and athletic abilities could compete at a local athlete. Since its premier season, the Games have been a grand success, topping out at more than 6300 athletes in 1995. The prosperity of the games has made it the largest state winter games in the country. POOR COPY benefits to effort required in a task or situation. If a task requires emotion and intensity for peak performance this interaction will be positive, such as in power lifting. If the task requires controlled emotion and moderate intensity increased emotion will result in poor performance, such as in golf. The final myth is that coaches and parents motivate athletes. No one creates motivation, it comes from within the athlete and is most affected by the environment. Parents and coaches should create an environment where athletes take responsibility for their efforts and results while feeling safe taking risks. Taking risks means making mistakes as well as being successful. When it is all right to have both, motivation will blossom as the athlete makes continuing progress. If errors are punished, motivation will be dampened as a shift is made to extrinsic rewards and away from the intrinsic rewards discussed above. When adults understand that they can only provide an environment for enhancing motivation and athletes understand that only they control their motivation. Motivation can become the foundation for success in sport and other activities. Dr. M. Jane M. Miner is a certified consultant in sports psychology.
