The relationship between perfectionism and perception of coaches' behavior in male athletes

The aim of our study was to determine the relationship between perfectionism and perception of coaches' behavior in male adolescence athletes. The final sample of respondents (67 athletes, mean age 20.28±.92 years) is selected from the initial sample of 130 subjects, students at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education in Nis. They completed the two questionnaires: Leadership scale for sport (LSS) and Competitive perfectionism Scale (CPS). The results showed a significant relationship between striving for perfection and training instructions (.47), social support (.44), and positive feedback (.46), and also negative striving for perfection and autocratic behavior (.40). This study provides valuable insight into understanding the dynamics of sports leadership and perfectionism in athletes. Research on the coach‐athlete interactions, and also perfectionism from the perspective of an athlete need to be continued.
