Motivation

I just joined my sister's blog group of "Being Accountable". I had a beautiful little girl in July and had been on Bed rest since Feb 2009 up until I had her! See, I ate better during the pregnancy than I do now. The only motivation I had at that time was to keep my beautiful baby and myself healthy for this pregnancy since we had lost one not too long before! Now I can use my sister, who is 1500 miles away, as motivation to move and eat better!

I titled my blog motivation, because I have a lack of it at this moment! No motivation to do my job at my best, and no motivation to help myself feel better about the way I look. This in turn hurts my students and my players. I am a coach and Basketball is the longest season I know. I have been trying and trying to motivate my players to work hard, play hard and be successful. See, I didn't say win, because that is not what we need, well we need some wins, but In order for my girls to feel successful right now we need to just play hard ALL 4 quarters.

I've questioned if they are getting everything they need as far as fundamentals.......my assistant has been going over fundamentals since last June, if we are running the correct plays or if they are too hard........ but it is the basic plays that we can add more too, or if they just don't want to work for me! I lost a lot of my confidence in my coaching ability since I was out for so long, but I need some Motivation to get that back!

So any ideas on how to Motivate 16 very different young ladies to play their hardest for the last 7 games would be great!
