The Importance of Autonomy in Coaching

Coaches should prioritize supporting the autonomy of their clients. Autonomy support involves allowing clients to have control over their own athletic journey and making decisions for themselves. Research shows that coaches who support their clients' autonomy have athletes who achieve better performance, have higher motivation, and enjoy their sport more. By fostering autonomy, coaches can help athletes feel fulfilled, motivated, and in charge of their own success.
