If you could give me any ideas on how to do that, I'd very much appreciate it, because everything I've tried has failed thus far.

Do it through fun things. My plan for when I am leading- use teambuilding, make it a family, make people care.
Take them paintballing, show them what a team needs to do to survive.

What's your team's motivation like?
Thanks; I'm excited about going to nationals :D
However, there are some people on our team who are quitting or don't want to go. Too bad because they medalled pretty high at states.

Maybe its too expensive. Since he's from Virgiana, they'll probably have to fly there or take a 30 hour bus ride. Last year, my team had to take a 20 hour bus ride to get to Nationals.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL!

But the goal of Science Olympiad is a team sport, You should be a leader and motivate your coach and team members
That's a nice idea. In theory. But we've never even made it to state and SOME of my team members are pretty apathetic about competing. They like the medals but not the work required to attain them.

There's a few good, hard-working kids, though. (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, GUYS!)
