In this theme, the coach adapts their approach by considering how each adult athlete wishes to be held accountable for working hard and giving effort, and how they wish to receive feedback at practice. The following points may be used by coaches to think about how this applies in their practice:

• Consider how each of your adult athletes wishes to be pushed during practice
• Consider your adult athletes’ preferences for being held responsible for working hard
• Take measures to better understand what each adult athlete wants in terms of coaching feedback
