Victor Vroom's Expectancy Theory (ET) discusses motivation and management. The coach sets motivation standards that encourages his players to be fit after summer.

The theory of Vroom suggests that action is the product of conscious choices among alternatives aimed at maximizing enjoyment and mitigating pain.

Vroom proposed that the connection between the behavior of people at work and their objectives was not as clear as other researchers first thought.

He realized that the performance of an employee, or individual is based on factors such as temperament, skill, expertise, experience, and abilities of individuals.
