According to Cotterell (2008) an individual or a group’s level of motivation will affect success rates in particular when the work or motive is challenging or at a slow pace. Cotterell further suggests that by having a form of structure for example; setting deadlines, assuring tasks are manageable and also meeting targets, will indeed enhance a good success rate and end results becoming more achievable.
However there are negative aspects to motivation, Rous (2009) sees that negative motivation gives away energy leading to negative results. Therefore this indicates that negative impacts will lead to negative outcomes and by being positive will help motivate groups and individuals.
Theories
Maslow's Heirachy of needs
Maslow suggested that people start at the bottom stage "physiological needs”, then once that is fulfilled moving onto the next stages; love and belonging, self-esteem and finally self- actualisation at the peak completing when they reach the top of the pyramid. (Riley 2012).
Hertzbergs Theory
Therefore suggesting that motivation stems from what can be achieved, what individuals or groups can obtain or success from something or perhaps money and the ability to live financially better off can motivate people to gain positive results and outcomes.
Definitions
Overall individuals and groups are probably more likely motivated to achieve if there is structure and goals set. Although many see a reward as being a prize at the end of a task this is not always the case and can be rewarding to have achieved a goal, meet a deadline or fulfilling a task.
Summary
The need for a motivating leader was a necessity, which displayed in the goals achieved and success through hard work, meeting deadlines, organisation and in question a positive leader. which also strengthens theorists views on Motivation and why groups have strengths and also why groups lack in areas when wanting to achieve. There are many theories regarding motivation. However Maslows is a popular choice and used regularly especially within the Health and Social Care sector.
Maslows Hierachy of needs was based on his own interpretation of what motivates people and felt that individuals have a form of ‘motivation systems’ that are not related to rewards (Mcleod 2007).
This could suggest that it is a human natural process to be motivated and that rewards are not the reason or only reason an individual possesses inner motivation.
As already outlined, Maslow formulated a five stage model known as Maslows heirachy of needs mainly presented in a pyramid shaped chart.

Hertzberg, conducted a study during the 1950s based on what people wanted out of employment. From this he concluded that people wanted employment that offered opportunities to grow and achieve motivating them to move forward (Hertzberg n.d)
What is Extrinsic Motivation?
This refers to behavioural patterns which are caused by external rewards for example; Grades obtained, money and being praised within this particular behaviour. Whereas “intrinsic” motivation comes from within an individual.
Extrinsic motivation refers to a person’s tendency to perform a task, research suggests that by overloading with rewards can reflect in poor performance causing a decrease in intrinsic motivation.
When extrinsic and intrinsic motivation overlap or interfere with each other this process is referred to as “overjustification effect”. Decreases in intrinsically behaviour just after the same behaviour is rewarded (Cherry 2013).
Extrinsic motivation refers to our tendency to perform activities for known external rewards, whether they be tangible (e.g., money) or psychological (e.g., praise) in nature "(Brown 2007).

"Motivation can come from the outside, such as the motivation to win medals, receive financial rewards, and attract attention from the media. This is known as external, or extrinsic, motivation because it involves participation in sport for some kind of reward that is external to the process of participation" (Karageorghis & Terry, Inside Sport Psychology, 1969).

Relating the above theories to the Coach Carter film in
question. Motivation clearly is what was
lacking in the team previously to Coach Carter taking over leadership.
They were all skilled to play for the team and contributed
different individual attributes such as; approach, style and personalities but
all lacked in motivation and organisation which reflected in their previous
“game play”.Click here for further info : http://psychology.about.com/od/leadership/p/leadtheories.htm
