Self-regulatory processes in goal striving during excellent distance-running performances: A qualitative study

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings extend theoretical understandings of goal striving and the self-regulatory processes endurance performers employ to attain and/or adapt their goals. Psychological support provided for athletes should go beyond simply setting goals, but also include training on mental frameworks such as MCII to manage goal-striving challenges and decisional conflict encountered during performances.PMID:38065659 | DOI:10.1016/j.psychsport.2023.102516
