The equivalent of dragging a dog by force and wondering why the dog walks are still such a problem.
Something else like piano though is easier because I can always fall back to something fun. I can tell my fingers to push a bit more on whatever technical movement I'm working on because I'm able to "reward" them with something they care about.
That is, the "work" is possible because there's a bridge to "play".
I suspect with endurance, the "play" aspect for many people is some sort of social thing like running/biking together in a marathon or a team sport like basketball/soccer. Experiences that I never really had.
While its great to have things jump when you say jump, the point should be to command with the spirit of a game master. The purpose of power is to increase the efficiency of the work via centralization so that more people can play.
Thoughts like "How can I motivate X" are wrong because it indicates an incorrect mindset. The right thought should be "How is this person not having fun?"
Or for the self. "Why am I not happy?" Usually it's closely related to not wanting to look stupid. Which would explain why the children and the old tend to be more happy despite not being at their 'prime'. They don't have to care so much.
When I try to teach piano for example, even though I'm trying to share a path that's "fun" rather than a grueling path of music reading, theory, and scale practice, there's a large barrier. Sitting in front of a piano as a beginner makes anyone feel like an inept fool.
So the "fun" path is almost impossible to share because of how sensitive people become. Sometimes they'll get inspired but in a "Ok, what book should I read? What teachers? What process?"
It reminds me of a period in my life where I really thought I cared about machine learning and some other 'smart thing'. Looking back, I didn't really give a damn. I just didn't want to be left behind looking stupid.
Status/Power and Useless are like two poles. Worshipped and rejected by society. "Love" however exists at the useless pole. Like a pet, or a teddy bear.
Doing what you love always has an aspect of looking like you're doing something unproductive. The trouble is that there's a minority of people where this overlaps with what society values. Those are the lucky folks.
Like Paul Graham's "Orthodox Privilege" concept, from their perspective they can't see how everyone can't just Get Rich Doing What You Love. They also usually have the biggest megaphones.
The weakness of "How can this NOT be fun for you?" is somewhat narcissistic. It's similar to "How can You not be Me."
To "empower" someone is to dissolve the feelings of vulnerability and weakness. To help someone past their fears of looking stupid. Ironically, empowering someone doesn't give them power. It gives them happiness.
