It is solid advice to nurture your athletes' internal drivers through autonomy-supportive coaching for sustainable, long term motivation and a range of positive benefits. But there are times when short term impacts matter too, and situations and personalities call for a responsibly managed controlling coaching approach to elicit immediate reactions from athletes. In this episode I talk through this case, building on clues left by research evidence and drawing on my professional practice to offer a nuanced argument for taking full advantage of all behavioural regulators as and when needed in coaching, for a short while at least.


Paper discussed:

Pelletier, L. G., Fortier, M. S., Vallerand, R. J., & Briere, N. M. (2001). Associations among perceived autonomy support, forms of self-regulation, and persistence: A prospective study. Motivation and emotion, 25, 279-306.
