Autonomy

Great podcast from 3x5 leadership on autonomy.

It’s interesting to learn about what really motivates people, and the differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I think a lot of times as coaches we get this stuff wrong. The reward/punishment approach (extrinsic) doesn’t really motivate our players the way we think it does. Studies show that we are motivated more by intrinsic rewards - specifically autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

Are you giving your players the autonomy they need to really achieve at a high level?
