Coaches are prominent in youth sport retention. To prevent youth player attrition coaches require specific knowledge about how to coach for enhanced player experience. This is important for 'present' retention as players who are engaged in a positive sporting culture and climate show increased level of enjoyment, motivation and wellbeing. Consequently, a coach that enhances player experience is more likely to foster with their players a longer term appreciation of involvement in sport.

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.
