The present invention provides a way to determine if coaches' motivational techniques have an effect, either positive or negative, on an athlete's performance based on the athlete's personality factors. One exemplary study showed that there was significant correlation between a coach's motivational approach and at least the agreeableness of the athlete. Most athletes, especially those high in Agreeableness, achieve peak performance when exposed to the Positive Reinforcing Coaching Technique and experience increased levels of confidence; however, some athletes prefer the Demeaning Coaching Technique. Thus, an Individualized Coaching Approach is needed to effectively solicit peak performance from all athletes. Programs and methods for quickly devising such an individualized coaching approach using personality trait(s) of the athlete or any other subject are provided by the present invention.
