Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the literature based on coach–athlete interactions has focused on the important role coaches play in the creation of positive and negative motivational environments and on building the concept of a team with their athletes. Studies based on cross-sectional or longitudinal designs are necessary in order to continue investigating how coaches influence motivational and group variables, such as athlete psychological needs, motivation, motivational outcomes, team resilience, collective efficacy, intrateam communication, group cohesion, transactive memory, group conflict, inside sacrifice, team commitment, team identification, and athlete leadership quality.
We are pleased to inform that this Special Issue entitled “Research in Motivational and Group Processes in Sport” is focused on answering the many questions raised in previous research regarding the important influence coaches have on motivational and group variables. In addition, this Special Issue will explore the various strategies and practical implications in teams sports. We hope to bring together original research articles and reviews in order to create an interesting resource of related work that is useful to practitioners, coaches, and researchers who work with or investigate athletes and team functioning.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
