It's Sunday, 20th July 2003, and the unknown (real unknown) Ben Curtis has just shocked the golf world by winning the British Open. Trailing him were a real band of famous golfers, Vijay Singh, Thomas Bjorn, Davis Love III, Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, Kenny Perry, etc.

Parents Is there a history or a lesson for our young athletes here? Well, there is. On the home page of the sports page, Monday, July 21, we received this report:

He grew up in the course of his grandfather built. So nobody should be surprised that Ben Curtis – British Open, he impressive has always been – loved golf. Except even his parents had no idea of what until that frantic night back in Ostrander, Ohio when Bob and Janice Curtis went to look in his 5 year old son for 11 hours and saw an empty bed. "It's dark and we're staying home kidding, Bob Curtis." And Then I looked out the window and there on the green bin in pajamas with floppy disks, putting "." He left his bed, went over and the lights in my office so I can continue to practice, I think – that's where we realized that we really loved the game. "

Ben loved the game. He loved as what has gone farther and spent more time enjoying and improving it. This is called intrinsic motivation - the energy and desire Ben had the game itself and his interest in her. I do not think I was compete with anyone out there in green. I do not think he's trying to please father and mother. I do not think he expected anything from anyone, a pat on the back, a promotion to a higher league, an increase of allowance, or any other external reward or Goody. It was a child receiving a portion of the game of golf as a child of his age and size could benefit. It was his choice and his idea of fun. Contrast this type of motivation and interest in what we see around us in the leagues of children – the so-called extrinsic motivation – it motivation that comes out of the child and the activity outside. Some of using extrinsic motivation negative "Do what you want to do or will not pity he did not.

Some of us are smarter and use positive extrinsic motivation, "If you stay in the team and practice, we will give you fairly uniform a pat on the head, higher compensation, or whatever it takes. "It really seems that corruption and it is. It is not working and better things negative, but attention – can turn on you. Some children catch on to how the agreement and say: "And if I'm what you want to do?" and children are now the last word. But this was not the case with young Ben Curtis. I really wanted to play golf and his parents were pleased that he has want to play and you encouraged. I do not know what would have happened if his parents do not want to play golf. Regardless, everyone agreed and that this condition exists, good things happen.

Your children are personally interested in playing their game? Use the power of motivation Intrinsic and be careful with the use of extrinsic motivation.

song that starts with the whistle?

is the first class healthy light this keyboard is something and then there are those whistles. whistle is cute together (i think like 2 people are whistling], but not all the way. Then this guy starts to sing. this is not "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn and John, or the patience guns and roses. The whistle is not super fast at first, but his uptempo. I guess the cold is classified as an alternative. I've heard in the former Marine and no wind of change by scorpions

Wind of Change – Scorpions Or what about: The Whistle Song – PJ Olsson and Bob Sinclar – "Love Generation "or" World Hold On "The two songs have whistling that's all I can think of! Hope you find it! Let us know!
