Autonomy and Motivation
- Autonomy is one of the three pillars of motivation, alongside relatedness and confidence.
- It's vital for intrinsic motivation, making athletes enjoy the sport for its own sake.
Creating Autonomy in Practice
- Let athletes control their feedback schedule by asking if they want feedback.
- Allow athletes to control reps by asking how many more they'd like to do after a set amount.
Autonomy for Younger Athletes
- Offer young athletes small, irrelevant choices to develop their autonomy.
- These choices can range from equipment to snacks to games played at the end of practice.
