dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to understand how women think and learn as they develop skills to pursue their goals in mountain biking for recreation. By using an SDL framework, I was able to determine the self-directed motives and practices over which the women had agency and ownership. The women demonstrated agency in self-monitoring and metacognitive practices, including the recognition of effective thinking processes concerning learning and motivation. Personal gratification was a strong incentive for continuous practice and included personal enjoyment, as well as the satisfaction of forming long-term relationships and reaching personal potential in the sport. Skill development inevitably involved taking on risks; however, challenges were arranged in a way that enhanced learning while limiting exposures to danger and injuries. The findings from this study support adults engaging in recreational pursuits, recreational leaders designing or leading workshops, any person who holds an interest in establishing and maintaining motivation in recreation or overall health and wellness, and scholars and students pursuing similar research.en_US
