Roland Would Often Finish a Long Soccer Practice Telling Himself

Roland would often finish a long soccer practice telling himself that he must love soccer because he works so hard at it. His high school soccer coach tells Roland that he is good enough to earn a full soccer scholarship to university. Now Roland leaves long practices telling himself that he is working this hard to get a scholarship. He finds that he now enjoys soccer less. Bem's self-perception theory would explain Roland's behaviour by saying that:

A) he no longer feels that he is choosing to practice and play
B) he is afraid that he will start losing matches and look bad to scouts
C) winning the scholarship has become the reason for playing soccer
D) playing has become work, not pleasure
