| Background: The present study investigated the relationship between self-compassion behaviors on the motivational structures of coaches based on the mediating role of basic needs. Methods: One hundred and nineteen coaches (completely reponed) from West and East Azerbaijan and Ardabil provinces participated in this research. Participants filled out questionnaires (self-compassion, interpersonal behaviors, coaches ‘ motivation, and personal characteristics) through electronic forms in Telegram and WhatsApp. Results: The results showed that coaches’ self-compassion was related to their need-supportive behaviors (p<0.001) and autonomous motivation toward coaching (p<0.001). In contrast coaches’ self-compassion related negatively to their need-thwarting behaviors approach (p<0.001). Path analysis showed that coaches’ kindness and mindfulness related to their need-supportive behaviors. Conclusion: In general, findings indicated that coaches’ self-compassion behaviors can increase athletes’ basic psychological needs and create situations to increase their need satisfaction. |
