Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate from a longitudinal perspective the relationships between conscientiousness, soccer and school self‐determination, and satisfaction in soccer academies. Newly recruited French soccer athletes responded to satisfaction and self‐determination measures three times, once every four months, and to conscientiousness measure in Time 2. Results showed that soccer self‐determination of trainees decreased and that its relationship with satisfaction was stronger over time. Moreover, results indicated that the relationship between trainee conscientiousness and satisfaction depends on the level of soccer self‐determination (S S‐D); when it was relatively high (in the middle of the year) the relationship was moderated by S S‐D and when it was weak (at the end of the year) the relation was mediated by S S‐D. Applied suggestions are made to develop means to maintain trainees’ feelings of autonomy toward soccer and school experience
