Cet ouvrage de recherches scientifiques se concentre sur les facteurs motivationnels au sein des écoles. Nous verrons dans quelles modalités un élève peut être plus ou moins motivé selon plusieurs critères en illustrant nos propos par le biais d'une activité sportive, la lutte. Je reste convaincue qu'il ne suffit pas d'enseigner, d'éduquer ou de vouloir que l'autre fasse pour qu'il agisse. Une multitude d'éléments s'opèrent autour de la volonté. L'environnement, l'expérience et la vision de chacun jouent clairement sur la puissance de la motivation de l'individu. Ayant pour objectif d'être professeure des écoles en 2016, j'ai souhaité m'interessé à mes premiers interlocuteurs, mes futurs élèves. L'analyse de leurs interactions et des consignes données par l'enseignant sont des pistes à explorer.

The state of Iowa is just as well known for prominent wrestlers as it is acres of corn and beans. That gives Iowa the mighty distinction of feeding the world and defeating it on the mat. Men like Dan Gable, Tom Brands, Harold Nichols, Jim Miller, Nick Mitchell and Chuck Patten led Iowa colleges to forty-four of an astounding sixty-nine national team championships. In 1954, Simon Roberts of Davenport was the first African American to win a state wrestling title and later the first African American NCAA wrestling champion. Wrestler Norman Borlaug received the Nobel Peace Prize and is credited with preventing more than one billion deaths from starvation. Author Dan McCool details the long history of hard work and dedication from the fields to the mat.

Gerald Grant Leeman emerged from a life of poverty and addiction to become one of the greatest wrestlers and most beloved coaches in American history. Nicknamed "Germ" due to his small stature, Gerald and his nine siblings lived hardscrabble childhoods, but their Osage, Iowa, roots grew deep and served them well. In Germ’s case, those humble beginnings taught lessons that led to three state high school wrestling titles; serving as a Naval carrier pilot; an NCAA championship during which he was named Most Outstanding Wrestler; an Olympic silver medal; and a storied coaching career at Lehigh University. The son of an alcoholic father, Gerald battled the disease later in life with grace and dignity, and became a glowing example of the power of recovery and redemption. Tough Street illuminates Germ’s expansive impact on his siblings, teammates, children, and, most poignantly, his wrestlers at Lehigh, where famed Grace Hall’s arena bears his name. Gerald Leeman lived the American Dream.• "God gave Gerald Leeman abilities no one else could have. Leeman was an artist in our sport. It’s difficult to describe unless you saw him. He is the greatest wrestler I ever saw, and I’ve seen them all." – Bill Nelson, three-time NCAA champion and 1948 Olympian• "The thing about Gerry is you could surround him with chief executives of any company, politicians from all over the world, with farmers or Indian chiefs, and he would soon be ruling the room. He had that presence, that aura." – Kirk Pendleton, 1963 NCAA champion• "Gerry Leeman was a legend who absolutely loved the sport. Going into Grace Hall — The Snake Pit — for a dual, well, Leeman would fill the place up and those partisans would pound their feet on the metal bleachers. The noise was so intimidating." – Donald Rumsfeld, former Princeton wrestling team captain and United States Secretary of Defense• "Gerald Leeman was so much more than our coach. He was a molder of men, an educator who used the lessons of strife on the mat to form foundation in his boys, enabling them to achieve fame, fortune and esteem in their lives. This is his legacy." – Mike Caruso, three-time NCAA champion
