To motivate learners, from beginners to top performance levels, is one of the toughest tasks for teachers and coaches who find it very hard, particularly when working with the young generations. This is due to the distracting elements like electronic games, social media and internet. With the help of recent research, neurosciences have discovered how to activate the brain reward centre that moves people to action.
