In this series of sports psychology that was first aired in 2014 Chris talks to sports psychologist, author and researcher Dr Inga Wolfram about motivation.  She explains that ambition is a combination of autonomy and competence or an alternative theory of achievement striving. People need to do what they want to do so their actions need to be guided by themselves. Whatever your chosen sport if outside influences inhibit your time to train or compete you’re not going to be happy because the self concept you have of yourself is that you want to go and do what you choose when you want so if outside sources pressure you into doing things that are not congruent with your self concept you are not going to be happy, despite the best motivation.  It may be that you prioritize other responsibilities and relatedness is another intrinsic need of mankind as Inga explains how this relates to the care of other people. Guilt and obligation are other factors that step in the way of self motivation to train or compete.  Inga also addresses the influence of social media on social habits and explains why she feels we have gone somewhat overboard with wanted to be connected.
