Millions of children, and their parents, have developed a reliance on organized youth sport as the primary source of physical activity. Many of these children are participating on teams that are being directed by coaches that, unlike practitioners in many other fields, do not have access to any formal training. These coaches have a tremendous impact on the motivations of participating children but they are unfamiliar with strategies that may have a positive impact on the motivational climate they are creating. The United States is the largest producer of sport science research but little of it finds it ways to these practitioners. The purpose of this study was to design and implement an education workshop for youth sport coaches. The workshop employed the principles of andragogy (adult learning theory) as well as transformative learning theory in an attempt to create a revised meaning of one's coaching experience and as a guide to action. Coaches were introduced to the tenets of, and strategies that employ, Self-Determination Theory (SDT). SDT posits that if the basic psychological needs of autonomy, relatedness, and competency are met then the opportunity for intrinsically motivated behavior exists. Motivation is viewed upon a continuum with decreasingly positive consequences from intrinsic motivation to amotivation. Fourteen sixth grade travel basketball teams (7 male and 7 female) teams from the central region of a Midwestern State were randomly selected to participate in the study. Athletes (n = 107) were pre- and post-tested for levels of motivation. Seven of the coaches were randomly selected to participate in the coaches' education workshop. A pre- and post-test was administered to the coaches and t-tests showed significant increases in their understanding of motivation in a youth sport setting and their understanding of SDT. A post-workshop coach's evaluation revealed high inclination to implement coaching strategies that employ the principles of SDT. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) found no support for the hypotheses that athletes of workshop attending coaches will demonstrate significant increases in their self-determined motivation scores, a higher propensity to participate in basketball next season, or higher levels of satisfaction than athletes of coaches that did not attend the workshop. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) did find support for the hypothesis that no significant differences will be found on the basis of gender. Implications of these results are discussed and suggestions for future research are forwarded.
