This study examined the role of motivation on the performance of competitors at National-level FFA Career Development Events (CDEs). In a mixed methods approach, a census of all competitors (N = 1,306) and their coaches (N = 340) in nine events representing team-based content and skills, team-based leadership, and individual leadership events was conducted, with an explanatory qualitative investigation of five exemplary CDE coaches in North Carolina. Competitors and coaches were surveyed on the motivational constructs of goal orientation, grit, self-efficacy, interest, and control beliefs. Survey data from both audiences were connected to individual performance in the event (gold/silver/bronze emblem). A regression analysis comprised of motivational and demographic factors accounted for 22 % of the variation in student performance. The strongest positive predictors of student performance were student grade point average and coaches' performance-approach goal orientation. Further analysis revealed differences between the genres of CDE competition. Competitors in individual leadership events were more mastery approach driven, grittier, and more self-efficacious, even though there was no difference in GPA between the groups. Five themes emerged from the qualitative analysis of coaches' interview transcripts and observations of their practice behaviors. It was found that coaches: 1) recruit students from diverse backgrounds in unique ways, 2) engage competitors with a variety of motivational strategies, 3) establish a culture of winning, 4) set high expectations of themselves and students, and 5) differentiate methods of coaching to optimize student success. Recommendations for coaches include exploring ways to build the self-efficacy and competitive drive of their students and set performance goals at the beginning of the season. Recommendations for future research include investigating the underpinnings of why students in individual FFA leadership events are more motivated to compete than their team-based counterparts and examining the structural components of FFA CDE for the inclusion of skills which attract and reward mastery-driven competitors and coaches.
