In Perspective: Episode 11

Inspiration In Sport

Inspiration in sport isn’t luck — it has structure. In this episode, we break down the four psychological sources that drive motivation in high-performing athletes. No quotes, no clichés, no soft messages. Just a clear look at how proximity, identity, friction and competence shape the mindset of athletes who show up with intent every day. You’ll learn why some athletes stay consistent while others ride motivation waves, how to engineer training environments that lift your standards, and how small daily wins become the foundation of real confidence. Whether you’re a developing athlete, a parent guiding a young player, or a coach building team culture, this episode gives you a practical blueprint for creating motivation on demand — not waiting for it. If you want predictable, repeatable inspiration in your sport, this is where it starts.
