Measure and track your motivation over time by logging it in a performance journal. After every practice, simply assign a number from 1 to 5 (with 1 being low and 5 being high) to your level of motivation. If you notice many 4s and 5s, you’re experiencing high levels of motivation. If you notice many 1s and 2s, your motivation is waning.

If your motivation drops, that isn’t a bad thing — in fact, it’s a part of life. It is, however, a signal to stop, figure out why your motivation is waning, and address the causes.

You can also ask your coaches and teammates if they’ve noticed any drop in your motivation during practice and competition. Try to take to heart their opinions, and keep in mind that they want what’s best for you.
