Motives, Motivation, and Motivational Climate of Young Norwegian Swimmers, and their Parents’ Belief
Motivation is important for enjoyment, skill development, and persistence in swimming. The quality and direction of motivation is influenced by a swimmer’s perceived motivational climate, which is created by coaches and parents. The theoretical framework in this study by Ingeborg Ljødal, Bjørn Harald Olstad and Anne Marte Pensgaard combines self-determination theory and achievement goal theory, to analyze the motives and motivation of swimmers and the influence of social climate on their motivation.

Back to the basics: On ethics, football, and youth
With a pedagogical objective, this article by Constantino Pereira Martins and Luísa Ávila da Costa seeks to think and explore ethics in a way accessible to the common, non-philosophical reader, deconstructing and challenging the usual weight of the classical tradition and translating it to direct and fundamental questioning.

Book Review
The Psychology of Perfectionism in Sport, Dance, and Exercise: 2nd Edition, by Andrew P. Hill (ed.)
This extensively revised and updated 2nd edition of Andrew P. Hills’ edited collection The Psychology of Perfectionism in Sport, Dance, and Exercise (Routledge) offers a comprehensive account of the latest research and practice issues relating to perfectionism in sport and, however to a much lesser degree, in dance and exercise. The conspicuous paucity of perfectionism perspectives relating to dance is the only point of strong criticism in Sara Daniels’ otherwise highly appreciative review.
