Hello All, thanks for taking your time to help me. I am very weak in writing and can always use feedback to improve.
The relationship between a coach and an athlete is very significant to improve an athlete's intrinsic motivation towards their preferred sport. With many demands in the sport environment, the coach and athlete relationships needs to be consistent, involved, persistent, communicative, goal-oriented, supportive and healthy to obtain a long-term essential, significant intrinsic motivation attitude between each other and towards the sport. In the articles raed, competence, relatedness and autonomy were further studied to obtain information about improvements intrinsic motivation in the athletes. The studies found that when an athete is autonomy-supportive and competent, it does benefit both self-determined extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation therefore a positive coach and athlete relationship is developed.
Thank you!
