Self-determination theory offers a meaningful framework for developing the coach-athlete relationship and maximizing athlete motivation. This learn-by-doing workshop for sport psychology professionals, sport educators, and coaches will focus on understanding and applying practical strategies related to basic psychological need satisfaction and autonomy-support for enhancing motivation of athletes across multiple sport contexts. Participants will create a 5-point implementation plan for incorporating ideas learned in the workshop into the work they do with their athletes and teams. (CEU)
