There are lots of ways a team can be motivated to play their absolute best. This year it is not clear what will motivate our Huskers. What do you think?
Extrinsic motivation is all fine and dandy, but it tends to wear off eventually. True motivation, IMO, must be intrinsic.
In other words:
"Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory."
The rewards that come with winning football games should be appreciated, but I hope that most of our players are playing because they enjoy the game of football.
For the state of Nebraska? Does anyone really believe this?
