with Chris Richards
We know that achievement can be motivating, but how does motivation affect our sense of
achievement? This session explores how understanding different types of motivation can help
teachers/coaches ensure their students/clients feel like they are achieving and making progress.
It will also discuss how we, as teachers/coaches, need to understand our own motivations.
