Effort

Yes, motivational/inspirational strategies.

But also instilling habits. For a player, and especially for 5 players at once, to play hard at all times, it has to be a habit that was developed.

Yes, it took being motivated during the process of creating the habit. But the act of playing hard in a game is a habit more than it is simply being motivated.

That said, there a certain games that can carry a higher level of motivation and can propel players to peak performances

Yep. And, then there's the dude playing at the Y at noon that thinks it's the NBA Finals game 7. Always.

Agree. A good coach/teacher can motivate, but the player/student has to have the inner desire to improve.

But that inner desire can be improved/developed, based on research and my own teaching, coaching, and parenting experiences.

I never said otherwise. I agreed with hawkirugged who basically posted the same thing.
