Motivating Participants in a Contest

Motivational speakers are not exclusive to motivating only a certain kind of crowd. They are also at times hired to speak at different contests and competitions to encourage and boost the morale of the contestants into performing and doing their best to become winners. They are entitled to give only a brief speech or a brief discussion on how to inspire and boost a contestant or group into giving it their best and doing all that they can in order to achieve victory. Below are a few topics a motivational speaker discusses with their audience before the competition or the contest begins.

Encouragement – Is crucially needed by participants in order to perform better in the competition. A motivational speaker will elaborate on how an individual have made it this far with their talent and that it would be a waste if they were not able to perform and give out a 110% in the competition. Participants and competitors have practiced and prepared meticulously for the competition and in order to get the true value of their sweat and sacrifice, they must protrude and obtain victory.

Not all participants will become the winners so instead of sulking over losing the competition, learn from the mistakes made and improve them more. This is a good way to become more encourage and inspired to compete again and achieve the victory that the participant has aimed for.

Sportsmanship – Motivational speakers must always remind their audience that not all competitors are winners so always remember not to be a sore loser. Always be honorable by accepting your defeat and congratulating the winner. Chances are they deserve to win because they are more skilled and well prepared than you so remember to always be fair and forthright when losing a competition.

The winners should also be honorable and also congratulate their competitors for performing well in the competition. They must not gloat about their win and intentionally rub it on their competitors faces. This will give them a negative image with the crowd and will create a difference between all the groups or individuals who have competed with each other.

Performance – When competing, proper performance always prevails over beauty. All the individuals that are present in a competition have prepared and practiced for months in order to perfect their skills and their performance. It matters not what a person wears or what gadgets a person utilizes, it simply breaks down to their overall performance. The judges and the referees will base their decision on how a person performs and how a person perfectly executes a certain task.
