Antecedents to High School Strength and Conditioning Coaches’ Task-involving Climate Development

Strength and conditioning coaches (SCC) play a large role on athletes' sport experience. However, little achievement goal theory-based research has been done in the strength and conditioning realm. Coaches' transformational leadership behaviors were dependent upon their efficacy and task orientation. Coaches’ self-reported task-involving climate promotion was dependent upon their transformational leadership behaviors and their task orientation. Coaches’ task orientation directly and indirectly predicts their task-involving climate promotion.
