Having an intrinsic motivation within sport is considered to provide the best outcomes for development, well being, learning and lifelong participation. Using self determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2008) as a framework for sports coaching provides a way to foster intrinsic motivation through coaching practices which facilitate autonomy, competence and relatedness. This workshop will take you through the theory, help you apply it to practical tasks, and then provide guided opportunities to develop your own lesson plans using SDT as a framework, with a mixture of teaching, reflection, small group exercises, and (the dreaded!) role play.
