Expectancies confirmed (or not) through actual experience which influences continued participation (motivation) Researched topic in two ways: identify main incentives that influence choice, persistence and effort of participation, identify the reasons why participants drop out of an activity. The coach or leader must deliberately increase the opportunities for at least the major incentives to be satisfied. To do so, he/she needs to engage in a process to attempt to discover what incentives each participant brings to the activity (imi- incentive motivation index) Affiliation place value on all roles: allow or plan social activities beyond the sport setting, encourage mutual support and team unity (cohesion) Excellence- help set realistic personal and group goals relative to ability levels: provide for as much skill development as possible (over learning by doing repeatedly in practice)
