Motivation Behind the Race
Motivation behind the Race
My name is Valentino Rossi and I want to be a means, not merely a symbol for something. That was a statement came out from Italian professional motorcycle racer and multiple MotoGP World Champion. He was one of the most successful motorcycle racers of all time. What makes Valentino Rossi became Valentino Rossi we know today?
According to the MARS model of Individual Behavior and Performance above, there are four factors can conclude Individual Behavior and results. The four factor is Motivation, Ability, Role perception and Situational factors. In a race, these factors can determine whether an individual can be a champion or not. In this paper I will focus on the motivation factor. Motivation represents the forces within a person that affect his or her direction, intensity, and persistence of voluntary behavior (McShane, Glinow, 2010). We need motivation to drive ourselves to achieve something. According to David McClelland there are three social needs that can reinforce people to accomplish their goals which are: * Need For Achievement * Need For Affiliation * Need For Power
In my opinion, the need for achievement was the most significant reinforcement someone must have to success in racing. Take Rossi for example, from the first sentence in this paper we know that Rossi was a person who have a strong need for achievement. Since he was little, he wanted to be a fastest bicycle racer. His dream was becoming a world champion. As we know today, he has achieve more than what he dream. Rossi dominates many championships, and breaks many records in MotoGP history. A lot of person in his/her childhood have a dream to become something great in the future. But, it’s often that that dream doesn’t become a reality. The main reason that someone didn’t succeed to achieve his/her main goal was a lack of persistence, which is how long you continue your effort. Children usually have a unique way to set his/her goals, we can say unique
