I want to hear the experiences of other coaches regarding motivation. I competed with athletes that were highly motivated. I GA'ed with athletes that were highly motivated. I then took some jobs out of coaching for quite a while. When i returned I found the majority of the current team I am working with is unmotivated and have no interest in their sport. Is this just a sign of the times? Are motivated athletes in the minority now? Or is this team just need some serious rebuilding? What have you all noticed in regards to the percentage of athletes on teams actually being motivated and interested in track? Has the number dropped compared to years past? Am I just a crotchety old timer expecting to much from "modern" student athletes?
