Extrinsic Motivation

• From another source - tangible or intangible
• Participants may want an external reward or recognition for their achievement
• Tangible rewards: certificates, medals or trophies

  Intangible rewards: applause, feedback from others, cheering
• • When extrinsic motivation is overused it can undermine the strength of the intrinsic motivation
  • Participants may forget why they started playing the sport in the first place and they may become distracted by rewards such as prizes
• • Participants may become reliant on extrinsic motivators such as rewards and may only take part if they are paid or receive recognition
