This Might Be The Best Video About Motivation That’s Available To Show To Students

[Larry Ferlazzo]

Frank Dick is an apparently legendary Scottish track coach.

This short video would be amazing to show to students. He doesn’t call it “temporal comparison,” but that’s what he talks about – the importance of comparing yourself to your past, not to others.

If I was still teaching, I’d show this video to students and then ask them to respond to this prompt:

What does Frank Dick say about improving yourself? Do you agree with him? To support your opinion, be sure to include specific examples drawn from your own experience, your observations of others, or any of your readings.

I’m adding this info to Best Posts On “Motivating” Students.
