You would be described as energetic, determined and ambitious. You like to define your own goals and prefer frequent new challenges. You enjoy working on aspects of your performance using ways by which you can measure your progress. Your motivational profile is similar to those who work well in fast-paced challenging environments.

This type of motivational profile makes it possible for you to push yourself further and further toward achieving the goals that you set for yourself. It will not require much motivational input from your trainer to get you going. In fact, the coach will get best results with you by gradually introducing new ways to stretch your limits.

You are motivated primarily by your own internal goals. You enjoy challenges and usually do things for your own reasons. You are unlikely to be strongly motivated by other outside factors unless they support your own goals. This type of profile is very much like those of top people and can be used to build upon strengths if you see how it will help you to achieve your fullest athletic potential.

** People with your high level of motivation by challenge are sometimes impatient with peers or others who do not share the intense need to achieve.

** Individuals motivated by the need to achieve must develop their self management potential in able to meet the challenges that they set for themselves. If they are consistently unable to achieve their goals, they can become candidates for 'burn-out'.

When feeling under stress or not up to the challenges being faced, it is important to identify the things that may be causing these feelings. A heavy workload, personal problems, conflict with others etc can create stress and identifying the source of stress is the first step.

2. EVALUATE STRATEGIES USED TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS

Once sources of problems are identified, you should look for coaching or advice on how to evaluating your approach to dealing with each problem. Determine if the approach is effective and whether it should be enhanced or discontinued.

3. LEARN APPROPRIATE STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH ISSUES

4. INTEGRATE STRATEGIES INTO LIFESTYLE

Once strategies have been developed to deal with issues such as stress, nutrition etc, they should be integrated into your lifestyle so that they become habitual.

LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT

Manages Lifestyle Very Effectively

Could Benefit from Coping Strategies

Sample is currently showing signs that he/she is having some difficulty dealing with stress. He/She may be experiencing a significant amount of stress without having good strategies to cope with it. Athletes who are not coping effectively with stress can provide inconsistent performance and may need support from an understanding coaching staff.

Coaching Suggestions

Help Sample deal with stress by focusing his/her efforts on things that are not stressful.
Help Sample discover and understand the nature and sources of his/her stress.
Help him/her evaluate his/her stress coping strategies to determine their effectiveness.
Provide him/her with new strategies or stress management mentoring by a peer.
Follow up to determine whether he/she is integrating any new stress management techniques into his/her daily routines.
Do not give him/her additional responsibilities until he/she demonstrates better coping skills.

THE BASICS OF LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT (DELI Approach)

1. DISCOVER SOURCES OF PROBLEMS

When feeling under stress or not up to the challenges being faced, it is important to identify the things that may be causing these feelings. A heavy workload, personal problems, conflict with others etc can create stress and identifying the source of stress is the first step.

2. EVALUATE STRATEGIES USED TO DEAL WITH PROBLEMS

Once sources of problems are identified, the individual should be coached on evaluating his/her approach to dealing with each problem. Determine if the approach is effective and whether it should be enhanced or discontinued.

3. LEARN APPROPRIATE STRATEGIES TO DEAL WITH ISSUES

When there is no effective strategy to deal with the issues that are causing problems, the individual should be coached to develop strategies that will minimize or eliminate the problems.

4. INTEGRATE STRATEGIES INTO LIFESTYLE

Once strategies have been developed to deal with issues such as stress, nutrition etc, they should be integrated into lifestyle so that they become habitual.
