The motivation to run well in cross country comes from the athlete as an individual, from the team as a group, and from the coach as a leader. My basic message in talks to coaches is, if you aren’t motivated, how can you expect your runners to be? You coaches know you’ve succeeded as a motivator when every runner on your team does not want to lose for fear of hurting your feelings.
