Hello Samantha!
An example of me being motivated was actually last week. I play soccer on a travel team and last week we were behind 5-0 in the second half. Now, if you know soccer it's very difficult to come back in the second half if your behind that far. Once the other team scored the 5th goal, I said in my head were not going to loose this game so I motivated my whole team to try 25% harder. Everyone on my team was giving everything they got because I motivated them to play harder and better. At the end of the game, we came back and tied it 5 all. I hope this is a great example
