The measures of Coach Autonomy Support in the questionnaire used examples like, “I feel that my soccer coach provides me with choices and options (Reynolds & McDonough, 2015)”. These fifteen questions were also rated within a 7-point scale; 1 meaning strongly disagree and 7 meaning they strongly agree. The measures of Coach Involvement in the questionnaire were relationship based and had examples like, “To what extent could you turn to your coach for advice about problems? (Reynolds & McDonough, 2015)”. These five questions were rated on a 4-point scale; 1 meaning not at all and 4 meaning very much.

There was a lot of consistency with the variable and results, but we did learn when having a more autonomy supportive coach positively made intrinsic motivation with an indirect connection, but also made a positive direct connection with intrinsic motivation when the coach’s involvement was more moderate to high.
When having a more autonomy supportive coach it anticipated identified regulation in a positive way when the coach’s insolvent was high. With the introjected regulation, there was no correlation or positive or negative indicators. On the other hand, external regulation was positively seen indirectly because of the need of satisfaction with an autonomy supportive coach.
When it came to the need of satisfaction, the effect of autonomy support on amotivation was negative and was found to be no help whatsoever. With intrinsic motivation and identified regulation, there was a positive coach autonomy effect especially when the coach’s level of involvement was moderate to high. All youth athletes would dedicate their time and energy to understanding the sport and will have a very positive, beneficial intrinsic concentration in the sport because they are motivated to achieve any kind of goal if the coaches can express and communicate their emotional support for the athletes
