THE MOTIVATIONAL ROLE OF THE PHYSICAL-EDUCATION TEACHER

Although the problem of motivating students is not new to teachers of Physical Education, it is, never the less, one that must be constantly stressed. Generally, we know that a positively motivated person attains more qualitative results in any endeavor and that this motivational activity has significant positive effects on that person. In contrast to activities done under pressure and threats from the teacher or a personal aversion or disinterest, to the point of resistance on the part of the student, the positively motivated student is self satisfied, happy, and has a positive concept of his self worth.
