The main goal of the study was to assess the effects of an intervention programme developed with soccer coaches, based on promoting strategies to optimise the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of athletes. Eight soccer coaches, aged between 19 and 50 years (M = 32.5; SD = 14.34), participated in the study. They were selected intentionally (without academic or federative training) and divided equally into a control and an experimental group by random peer selection. Also, 109 soccer players, aged between 11 and 15 years (M = 13.78; SD = 1.38), divided into a control group (CG; n = 56) and an experimental group (EG; n = 53), participated in the experiment. The training programme (12 hours) was aimed to develop methodological and motivational strategies to promote autonomy, competence and relatedness need satisfaction among the players. The results showed that the participants in the EG decreased competence and relatedness control, while significantly increased (post-intervention) competence and relatedness needs satisfaction. Moreover, values for the EG did not decrease for autonomy, competence frustration and amotivation, while they increased for the sport commitment. Also, intrinsic motivation decreased in both groups (greater decrease in the CG). In conclusion, we can affirm the effectiveness of the training programme to create an environment of “bright side” motivation, and reduce thwarting styles, needs frustration and low self-determination levels. Key words: basic psychological needs, coaches, interpersonal style, intervention, self-determination.
Introduction Despite the dissemination of knowledge used theories to assess the type of motivational concerning the importance of physical activity regulation is the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) (PA) for a healthy life and optimal quality of life, (Deci and Ryan, 1985; 2000). Ryan and Deci (2000) data relating to physical inactivity globally remain point out that for a person to develop self- alarming, affecting more the early stages of life, determined motivation, they must have covered such as childhood and adolescence (Kohl et al., three basic psychological needs, or at least not to 2012). Thus, there is a significant trend for study have them frustrated (Ryan and Deci, 2000). These analysing what variables are essential for are (i) autonomy need (freedom of a person to continuation in PA. Bauman et al. (2012) carry out the activity, understand their own developed an interesting contribution in an actions and guide their behaviour deliberately), attempt to uncover the main predictors of PA (ii) competence need (positive feelings about practice (or lack of), highlighting motivation as ability levels, defined in terms of efficacy) and (iii) one of the best predictors. relatedness need (personal satisfaction in Regarding to this, one of the most widely integrating with the immediate environment
