Uncontrollable-  This is if Messi would say the reason he is so good is because his opponents are weaker.



Trait theory for motivation - This motivation is determined by personality and it mainly for people who are laid back and people who are happy to let things past them

Situational approach for motivation - this theory in essence suggests that the motivation level depend on the situation. for instance a football player may be motivated when it comes to the match day and his team are big then the opponent. However when it is in training  he is not very motivated

Interactional approach for motivation - The approach suggests that both personality and situation come into place when determining motivation levels. for example if you put the right person in the right situation you will get the right motivation.
