Abstract

The present work presents a unique case design in an 11-year-old gymnast using a mixted methodology of methodological triangulation combining a test-retest along with the qualitative analysis of the interviews conducted. For the intervention, the motivational coaching model "La Jirafa de Cantón" was used through a protocol designed for its use, using The Psychological Wellbeing Scales of Ryff, the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale of Schwarzer and Bassler and the Scale of Self-efficacy for Children and Adolescents of Bandura.

The results show an improvement of the scores of the specific scale for children and adolescents and an increase of the subjective appreciation of the motivational aspects and the perception of resources to achieve the objectives set, both of the athlete and the environment. These results are in line with other similar studies.
