Motivation

Hi Coach. 

it's been a while since i stopped training......perhaps because i was busy...i left ever since i lost in the last tournament where i was knocked out by an opponent who was on a way higher level than i and who trained under the head coach..........Now when i open my eyes in the morning....i find it rather difficult to get myself up and go to train.....it just feel so different right now........It feels as if the flame inside me is going out........Can you help me get over this before the flame runs out completely? plz

Hi Sandesh,

I always say motivation comes from within.

Rethink about the reasons you loved playing the game.  For me some of them are the challenge it gives you to improve skills.  It is good exercise.  The game involves all aspects of control in body and mind and it is an enjoyable game to play.  You see it in the delight of people when they get the opportunity to play socially at a party.  See if you can find that joy again of playing the game and then see if you have the motivation to work on improving yourself.

We are often cut down by losses but there will always be those.  Even the best players in the world have them and sometimes feel down about their abilities.
