Hogue publishes in the International Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology

Candace Hogue, PhD, assistant professor in the School of Kinesiology and director of the Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology (SEPP) Laboratory, published the article titled "Caring Coaching Climates Emerge as Key Factor in Promoting High School Athletes’ Well-Being and Motivation, Complimented by a Task-Involving Climate" in the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology, a publication of the International Society of Sport Psychology. Hogue's work highlights the importance of creating a caring, mastery-focused climate for youth athletes. More than a third of the male athletes and nearly a quarter of the female athletes shared that their coach is one of the only adults in their lives who cares about them, underscoring the critical role coaches can play in the lives of youth.
