Mastery and ego climates
A coach creates the motivational climate, the psychological environment of training, through how sessions are designed and how instruction and feedback are given. A mastery climate values effort, improvement and cooperation, while an ego climate values winning and comparison. Mastery climates work better over time, ego climates tend to raise anxiety, and the TARGET approach helps coaches build a mastery climate.
