Community sport coaches are lacking structure on how to fulfil their roles, and there are consequences for how they behave and the motivations they develop for coaching. This issue affects coaches and their participants, and the problem reproduces as an effect of individual, team, club, NGB, and wider policy factors colliding. Tune into this episode to understand these interactions better and the implications for the coach-created motivation environment. I also offer solutions at these various levels to help cultivate a more supported, and thus supportive coaching culture in the community.
