The impact of coaching advice on motor learning skills, with a particular focus on the role of self-competencies in high-performing athletes
Schröder, S.Published in Journal of Human Sport & Exercise (2025)“…The present study (N = 35, mean age: 17.06) suggests a negative correlation between stress load and self-control (r = -.517, p < .001). Concurrently, a positive correlation was identified between self-control and willpower (r = .433, p < .005), with willpower also exerting an influence on motor learning, although not significantly (d = .358). …”
