Voting and training

Daniel Kahneman talking about a simple way to get people to vote:

You call and ask people ahead of time, "Will you vote?". That's all. "Do you intend to vote?". That increases voting participation substantially, and you can measure it. It's a completely trivial manipulation, but saying 'Yes' to a stranger, "I will vote" ...

Would something similar work if you're trying to motivate an orienteer? Ask "do you plan to do some technique training this weekend?"

The quote is from an Edge article.
