    More context would be helpful. The use of "ongoing" here is strange and makes me wonder where the sentence came from. We sometimes say "a kick in the pants to get going" or something like that. It means that you need something to get you moving or get you started on something.

    Gracias por tu contestación mariaklec, de hecho no es un texto escrito sino un TV show de la BBC sobre Wagner. Por hobby pongo subtítulos en español a algunos clips sobre ópera para mi canal de youtube por lo que he podido cometer algún error al transcribir el texto. En cualquier caso me he decidido que como es sólo una frase podía ser un poco "creativo" y ya lo he publicado. Muchas gracias por tu tiempo!.

    Podría ser algo así como "necesitaba un buen empujón para continuar".
    Espero que sirva

    >>He needed some kind of weird kick to get ongoing"<<

    Yo lo interpreto como un una especie de estímulo fuera de lo común [raro, intenso, inusual] para poder funcionar [actuar, seguir].
