Young athletes' achievement goals can change in a healthy way over the course of a season when their coaches create a mastery motivational climate rather than an ego orientation, University of Washington sport psychologists have found. A mastery climate stresses positive communication between coaches and athletes, teamwork and doing one's best. An ego climate, typified by many professional sports coaches, focuses on winning at all costs and being better than others. http://www.physorg.com/news177690530.html Other Sciences Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:40:01 EST news177690530 (AP) -- @davidclowney Rex is watching.

Take Mrs. Jones, a hypothetical 55-year-old obese woman at risk for diabetes. It costs $900 a year to hire a personal lifestyle coach to help her lose weight and prevent diabetes. Suppose that the coaching works for Mrs. Jones, and she is spared diabetes and all the resulting health bills. http://www.physorg.com/news165080196.html Medicine & Health Wed, 24 Jun 2009 16:37:11 EST news165080196 An artificial intelligence coaching system has been developed that will help carers of older adults with moderate dementia.

This is the conclusion of a study from Mid Sweden University about hiring and firing coaches in the Swedish Elite Series ice-hockey league during the period 1975/76-2005/06. Despite this fact, coaches are nevertheless very publicly fired. The study shows that it is a mistake to replace the coach. http://www.physorg.com/news140862353.html Other Sciences Wed, 17 Sep 2008 09:25:53 EST news140862353
