Perception of coaches' behavior in male adolescence athletes

The aim of our study was to examine perception of coaches' behavior of male adolescence athletes. The final sample of respondents (67 athletes, mean age 20.28±.92) is selected from the initial sample of 130 subjects, students at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Nis which were active in sport. They completed the two questionnaires: Leadership scale for sport (LSS) and Negative coaches’ behavior questionnaire (NCBQ). The results showed significant relationship between dimensions of both questionnaires from ‐.50 to .60. The coach is the most important person in determining the quality and success of an athlete’s sport experience, yet surprisingly, little research exists that identifies optimal coaching behaviors and factors that influence the effectiveness of particular behaviors. Future researches should deal with examining other athlete and coach individual difference variables that might influence coaching behaviors and athletes’ perceptions and evaluative reactions to them.
