The importance of personality and achievement motivation theories such as Elliot’s (1999) achievement goal framework in the context of lifetime physical activity as well as competitive sport is the focus of my research. For example, my research group is focused on developing intervention strategies based on personality and achievement goals within the Transtheoretical Model to enhance the perceived physical abilities that we have found to consistently be the most discriminating and predicting variables of stage based exercise participation.

Omli, Jens
Assistant Professor |
Exercise & Sport Psychology |
- My research efforts focus on identifying ways in which parents and coaches behave at youth sport events, and understanding how these behaviors influence health and performance outcomes in children. I am also involved in international sport outreach efforts that focus on helping coaches transition from a narrow focus on talent-development and strategy-implementation, to a more comprehensive vision of coaching, which emphasizes personal growth and community development.
