Coach Motivational Climates and Reducing Athlete Willingness to Dope (CoachMADE)
The CoachMADE program was an international research project, funded by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), to develop a professional development program for coaches to prevent their athletes’ current and future willingness to dope. CoachMADE was the first published coach-centered intervention that promoted an anti-doping environment by focusing on how coaches communicate with their athletes in general, and about doping in particular. Coaches were trained to use a motivationally-supportive communication style based on the principles of self-determination theory. CoachMade received the following endorsement from the Australian Anti-Doping Agency (ASADA):
"ASADA is pleased to provide its support to the research being undertaken by the team at Curtin University with regards to anti-doping education for coaches. We believe strongly in the importance of the research topic, noting the significant role coaches play in developing the culture of their squads and the influence they have on the decisions of their athletes."
The research protocol for CoachMade was published in Frontiers in Psychology and is freely available to download here: экскурсия в царицыно. Manuscripts describing the results from this intervention are currently under review and will be made available on this website in due course. In the meantime, you can view an overview of results here.
