PBM: Motivation

In this episode we discuss motivation and how it fits into the psychobiological model when interpreting athletic performance. We also discuss Brehm's distinctions between potential motivation and motivational intensity (link below), and provide real examples of how they are displayed in CrossFit. Motivation is obviously an important factor in any athletic endeavor and we hope this episode offers a different way to think about motivation.
