As a coach, one of the most important questions to ask is: Will my players want to come back next week? Next season?

Young people stay in sport when they are motivated from within. They drop out when that motivation is missing, often because their basic needs are not being met. While some reasons for dropping out are outside your control, the environment you create matters. You can affect how players feel about sport and whether they stay involved.
