Self-Determination Theory: A Case Study of Evidence-Based Coaching
نویسنده
چکیده
The coach is central to the development of expertise in sport (Bloom, 1985) and is subsequently key to facilitating adaptive forms of motivation to enhance the quality of sport performance (Mallett & Hanrahan, 2004). In designing optimal training environments that are sensitive to the underlying motives of athletes, the coach requires an in-depth understanding of motivation. This paper reports on the application of self-determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1985; Ryan & Deci, 2000) to coaching elite athletes. Specifi cally, the application of SDT to designing an autonomy-supportive motivational climate is outlined, which was used in preparing Australiaʼs two menʼs relay teams for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
