These roles play into how coaches divert and adjust their power and control ov...

It recognizes the uniqueness of coaching adults (Callary et al., 2021) and has good face validity and...

The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey assesses how often coaches use practices tailored to adult and older adult athletes. Cross-sectionally, said practices contribute to a quality masters sport experience for masters athletes (MAs); however, the stability of adult-oriented coaching over time and whether changes in coaching over time correspond...

The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS) is a valid and reliable measure of coaches’ and Masters athletes’ perspectives of how often adult-oriented coaching practices are used. However, Masters athletes’ heterogenous traits have been acknowledged as barriers to generalizing research findings on coaching behaviors. Therefore, this study aime...

Masters athletes (MAs) are competitive adult athletes beyond the age of peak performance (Motz et al., 2022) who demonstrate high levels of athletic identity and time invested into sport (Appleby & Dieffenbach, 2016). Identity-Based Motivation Theory (IBM; Oyserman et al., 2017) posits that motivations mediate the link between identities and behavi...

https://scapps.org/jems/index.php/1/article/view/3080 ABSTRACT: Coaches can use the Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS; Rathwell et al., 2020) to reflect on their psychosocial coaching approaches with Masters athletes (MAs). This study explored how a coach used the AOSCS alongside a mentor for ongoing adult-oriented coach development. Grou...

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of socio-sanitary restrictions and a mass exodus from organized sport and physical activity (PA). As restrictions are lifted, many individuals are attempting to re-engage with sport. Masters athletes (MAs) are optimal for studying successful re­-engagement because they adhere to sport throughout adult...

The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS; Rathwell et al., 2020) is a promising coach education tool (Callary et al., 2021) for coaches who work with adult athletes. Research using the AOSCS has measured how often adult-oriented coaching practices are used but has not measured athletes’ preferences for these different practices. Therefore, i...

The Adult-Oriented Sport Coaching Survey (AOSCS; Rathwell et al., 2020) provides researchers with a self-report tool to measure the frequency of use of adult-oriented coaching practices. Studies involving the AOSCS have reported several types of validity and reliability (Motz et al., in press; Rathwell et al., 2020), yet the psychometric invariance...

https://www.scapps.org/jems/index.php/1/article/view/2610 -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_FdhDYwyn0 --- Adult-oriented coaching practices have been described qualitatively by Masters athletes (MAs) as a preferred method to receive coaching (Callary et al., 2017) and to foster hallmarks of Quality Masters Sport Experiences (QMSE; Young et al.,...

https://www.scapps.org/jems/index.php/1/article/view/2611 -- Recent qualitative evidence (Callary et al., 2017) suggests that adult-oriented coaching practices may enhance Masters athletes' (MAs) sport experiences. Most cognitively mediated coaching models posit that when athletes' preferences for coaching practices align with the coaching practice...

https://hdl.handle.net/10133/6099 - Qualitative researchers have shown that adult-oriented coaching practices enhance sport experiences for Masters athletes (MAs); however, this has not been quantitatively confirmed. Thus, the purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine the use of adult-oriented coaching practices throughout a season to det...

Adult sportspersons (Masters athletes, aged 35 years and older) have unique coaching preferences. No existing resources provide coaches with feedback on their craft with Masters athletes. Three studies evaluated an Adult-Oriented Coaching Survey. Study 1 vetted the face validity of 50 survey items with 12 Masters coaches. Results supported the vali...

Athletic identity (AI) is associated with increased motivation across a broad age range of exercisers. The study of AI and Masters athletes (MAs) has received less attention. The relationship between AI and motivation was tested with a large sample of MAs (n = 455; Mage = 51.97, SD = 11.51). MAs completed the Athletic Identity Questionnaire (AIQ) a...

Qualitative studies highlight the use of adult-oriented coaching as an alternative to traditional pedagogical practices when coaching Masters athletes (MAs; Callary et al., 2017). Studies have yet to quantitatively assess associations between various adult-oriented coaching practices and MAs' psychosocial outcomes. Four-hundred-and two MAs (Mage =...
