Analyzing Martens Stages
2. First stage of Martens’ model of competition is Objective Competitive Situation: This means that without a witness or another person present then you cannot have proper competition. An example of this would be you running a mile at the track and you want to run this mile under 5 min. You have a friend there recording your time and you tell him you want to run under 5 min. This would be considered competition based on Martens’ thought on Objective Competitive Situation. Second in Martens’ stages is Subjective Competitive Situation: This is how the person who is in the objective competitive situation perceives the situation at hand. For example a pitcher might live to pitch in game 7 of the World Series and another pitcher might dread the thought. Third in Martens’ stages is Response: Response is how you respond to the competition. First you could respond to it by competing against someone a lot better than you or someone worse. A different type of response is on a physiological level. Your hands could get sweaty and your heart could start beating faster. Other things can affect the response, things like your confidence, and motivation. Fourth in Martens’ stage is Consequences: These are measured by

positive or negative, basically success or failure. For example you play a baseball game and you pitched all 9 innings and you were totally on your game beating a big rival this consequence for you choosing to pitch against a hard team is positive you won the game.
3. There are only a few differences between girls and boy’s competitive natures one being how far the passion will take you. Boys are more likely to do whatever it takes to win. But other than that there really are not many differences between why boys compete compared to why girls do. They both compete for fun, to win, to be the best, and because their friends do it. All these things are found in both girls and boys.
4. Doing something that result in a good consequence often makes a person repeat the act. This works opposite when the consequences are bad. This is more complex than we think because two people can respond to good and bad consequences differently. That is why being a coach takes adapting to different teams and people. 5. Using punishment can have some negative side effect first it can put fear in people to not want to do the task. Also punishment can create a bad learning environment for certain age groups. Another negative side effect when using punishment is it can draw to much focus on to it. This can distract and hinder learning. 6. Intrinsic motivation is basically the proper term for saying someone who plays for the love of the game. This passion that drives someone to do better play better to be better at the game because they love and enjoy it gives them more potential to do better. Now loosing can change your intrinsic motivation even certain days can effect this type of motivation. Feedback can also change you outlook on a game even time can change the way you may love the game.
Critical Thinking
1.
I think that organized and unorganized sports both have pros and cons. Organized sports give kids competition and can help accelerate drive. But they can also make some games not fun for some kids and if they don’t enjoy it more than likely they won’t play it. Unorganized sports can tend to be more fun and normally and a bunch of friends or acquaintances playing. So they can tend to be more relaxed and fun with no bad consequences really. But with no real competition a child really can see the world for in my opinion what it really is and that is one big competition. I would always have my child play organized sports because with a competition and learning opportunities that come with a competitive organized sport. I child also needs to learn to
lose.
2. If I was a new coach of a team that had a losing record the first thing I would do to boost moral is host a team meeting/dinner to introduce myself and what I am all about. I would use rewards in say basketball by letting the kids play a shooting game at the end of Friday practice if they won the week before. Negative rewards I would make the team run suicides to first boost cardio but to also help the team learn from their mistakes. I would not be a huge yelling coach because I do not believe this would help the kids win.
