This essay will look at the trait centred view, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and Weiner’s attribution theory (Weiner, 1985) and how they can be applied to Sport and Fitness environments. One view of motivation is that the personality and characteristics of an individual will determine their motivation. This is known as the trait centred view. Motivation is thought to come from inside of the individual. In the trait centred view, ‘psychologists would agree that the motivated behaviour is largely determined by personality, needs and goals of the athlete, exerciser or employee’ (Weinberg and Gould, cited in Rea, 2009, p.79).

Chapter 1 1. It says in the book on page 12 1st paragraphs. If sports are institutionalized competitive physical activities played to achieve internal and external rewards then why aren’t competitive dancing, aerobics, jump roping and cheerleading counted as sports? Jump roping can be considered a sport, for the fact that it gets the luxury of having sponsorships just like games that are considered a game, funding, and also because they to earn medals and trophies in activities like the games that are considered a sport and practice like all other sports played. If you should get rewarded for something that is competitive it should also be credited as a sport.

With the technology of the world today being ever more prosperous than any kind of object or type of environmental product, the use of the social force comes in to play much larger than any other force. With this kind of social force, companies can use advertising via website like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, etc., email and even texts through phones. The amount of advertising that’s used on Facebook is bound to catch someone’s eye.

The higher the population the more fans come and the more money the the Ramirez brothers recieve which will slowly help them get out of their financial crisis. Also the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan area is the number two population center and TV market in the United States, and nearly every entertainment company in the world has expressed an interest in participating in sponsering an NFL francise, this means that they the Ramirez brothers will get alot of money off of them and they will also get a spot in one of the biggest francises in the world.

The 2014 community grant programme look at what the providers outcomes are and believe that they should be able to: increase participation in physical activity; increase number of volunteers involved in physical activity; and must be able to bring communities and people together through the delivery of sports (whether voluntary or participating). One strength of this sports development initiative is that it creates more opportunities for people to participate in sport because: they are given more venues to use; coaches are given more funding for the correct and most efficient qualification; more resources.

Under Armour continues to make their products relevant by continuously upgrading and using technology to provide its customers with the best sports gear. They also use advantage of social media to stay connected with and provide the public with fast and important information about their products. Under Armour is surprising because they started out as a small company entering an industry dominated by corporate giants like Nike and were able to grow and expand and become a serious industry competitor.
Graff says that with all the statistics/thoughts involved with sports, it’s actually helping with development of literacy and is actually mentally stimulating for the student reading them. 2. To support the analogy with sports structure and life is very blatant and obvious to me --- life is a ‘team sport.’ No matter what you do, you will have to work with others to achieve a goal. This holds true to every specialization and raising. You might have an idea that can evolve humanity to new stage, but without the funding to do so, it will remain an idea.
