Abstract

Being subject to a great range of demands is believed to increase burnout propensity in high-performance coaches. This study is the first to explore whether the 4-step self-determination theory process model is a valuable framework to better understand the process influencing burnout and well-being in high-performance coaches (N = 343, M = 40.33 years) throughout a competitive season. Findings indicated that coaches on average increased in burnout and decreased in well-being. Hypotheses were to a large extent supported: change in perceived environment → change in psychological need satisfaction → change in autonomous motivation → change in burnout and well-being.

Workload negatively predicted vitality and satisfaction with life in elite-level coaches.
“Bentzen and colleagues for instance, found that workload negatively predicted vitality and satisfaction with life in elite-level coaches [87].”
From The Mental Health of Elite-Level Coaches: A Systematic Scoping Review (2024) · cites this paper as [87]
The Structural model section (page not provided) reports that changes in workload negatively predicted changes in vitality and satisfaction with work among high-performance coaches. The claim substitutes satisfaction with life for satisfaction with work; the Methods section confirms that the study adapted the Satisfaction with Life Scale to measure work satisfaction. (LLM, conf=0.90)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
Excessive workloads and persistent job insecurity were associated with low levels of wellbeing.
“Conversely, excessive workloads [87] and persistent job insecurity [24] were associated with low levels of wellbeing.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
