For most athletes, motivating factors typically come from oneself (intrinsically) and others (extrinsically).

It is seems that all of these intrinsic and extrinsic motivating factors together enhance and sustain Me sis motivation.In conclusion and as implied above, Lionel Me si is clearly a talented and distinguished footballer. His skill and genuine pa sion for the game are truly remarkable and has been key to Barcelonas succe s this season. However, it seems that there is more to Lionel Me sis brilliant performance than his skill alone. It appears that intrinsic motivating factors such as his personal desire to play the game and the pleasure that he experiences while playing football, coupled with extrinsic motivating factors such as the recognition as an outstanding player; monetary reimbursements; the continued support from his teammates, football club, and endorsements; and the reciprocal relationship between Me si and his fans are what is motivating this brilliant footballer.* Thank you to Barcelona FC and La Liga for up to date standings and statistics  ReferencesLa Liga.
