Motivation

Lately, i've been feeling very out of it when it comes to soccer. We've had 2 practices this week already and I haven't had any motivation at both practices. I feel that i haven't been giving my best efforts at practice and it's extremely unfair to my team since they've been working extremely hard. I don't know whether i'm just tired or i'm starting to lose love for the game. I want to continue to play soccer but i'm not sure how to get my motivation back.

You might want to look a little deeper inside and ask yourself why you lack motivation to practice playing soccer. Ask yourself what is it you hope to achieve through playing this sport. If you can come up with something like, developing more strength or more stamina, then focus your mind on the end result and that will be all the motivation you will need provided you want it bad enough.

When I use to go to the gym, I wanted to get ripped to attract girls so I focused on the end result of having all kinds of girlfriends who wanted to be near me and that fantasy got me through every workout with flying colors!

My lifelong dream was to finish a marathon. Running long distances was not easy so I would focus on crossing the finish line and being hugged by a beautiful girl.

There are all kinds of ways to motivate yourself to achieve any end result you are interested in but to me it sounds like you have lost interest in the sport. If that's the case then you need to search your heart and discover what your passion is and then go for it.

I will leave you with this motivational video:

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
