This mental model deals with the use of positive reinforcement as a tool to motivate and promote continuous improvement among athletes.
Positive reinforcement is a behavioral technique used in psychology that aims to encourage a certain behavior by rewarding it immediately. It is employed by many coaches to reinforce the behaviors they want to see in their athletes and to promote continuous improvement. For example, a coach might praise a gymnast immediately after they perform a perfect routine. They might also provide tangible rewards, like a small trophy or medal. By doing so, the gymnast will associate their good performance with positive feelings and rewards, and will be motivated to repeat and further improve on this performance.
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out - Robert Collier
