This book was released on 2000 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The investigation was designed to analyze coaching behaviors and gender of athletes in reference to self-efficacy levels of youth soccer athletes. Youth soccer coaches (N = 7) were observed during three practice sessions using the Coaching Behavior Assessment System (CBAS; Smith, Smoll, & Hunt, 1977). A total of 31 female and 36 male youth soccer athletes, ages 7 to 13, completed the Perceived Soccer Competence Scale (PSCS; Feltz & Brown, 1984). No significant (p> .05) linear relationships were found between positive or negative subscales of the CBAS (Smith et al., 1977) with regard to scores of athletes on the PSCS (Feltz & Brown, 1984). Also, two 2 x 2 ANOVAs were conducted examining coach rank, for positive and negative behaviors, and gender to PSCS (Feltz & Brown, 1984) scores. Coaches were ranked based on the degree to which they utilized positive and negative feedback. No significant interactions or main effect differences were found for either of the 2 x 2 ANOVAs. The perceived soccer competence scores of athletes were similar despite playing for coaches who utilized either positive or negative feedback. Perceived soccer competence was similar for both males and females. In the future it is suggested that research in youth sport in the natural setting, examine efficacy of athletes who are repeatedly exposed to negative or positive coaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between specific aspects of the coach-athlete and athlete-athlete relationship on participation in competitive youth soccer was examined in the current study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the independent and combined effects from multiple social agents to examine whether age, gender, and competitive level moderate how status rank, achievement goal orientation, coaching behaviors, and friendship quality influence youth soccer participation. The design of the current study utilized quantitative and qualitative research methods. Four online questionnaires including: 1) an Individual Skills Rank Assessment, 2) Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2, 3) Leadership Scale for Sports, and 4) Sport Friendship Quality Scale, were completed by 172 youth participants. Sixteen youth soccer coaches completed the Status Rank Assessment online. Quantitative results revealed significant participation differences exist based upon the interaction among status rank, age, gender, competitive level, achievement goal orientation, coaching behavior and friendship quality, with gender and self-esteem enhancement representing the two strongest predictors in determining which athletes switched teams within the past 12 months. Interview data suggested youth soccer athletes' initial decision to play for specific teams is not based upon pre-existing friendships. They do, however, typically become friends with their teammates throughout the season, which makes individual experiences more enjoyable. Furthermore, the friendships formed with teammates are indirectly influenced by the motivational climate established by their coach through: 1) the achievement orientation emphasized, and 2) the coaching behaviors displayed. Additionally, participants discussed the following common themes: 1) Friendships Make Soccer More Fun but Are Not Necessary, 2) Girl Talk, 3) Just Want to Hang Out, 4) Confidence is Important, but Assumed, 5) Coach Knows Best, and 6) Play Your Best and Improve each Time.The relationship between specific aspects of the coach-athlete and athlete-athlete relationship on participation in competitive youth soccer was examined in the current study.

Likewise, sport offerings and values attached to these sports vary with cultural context.

Key players in these important functions of sport are peers, coaches and parents. The volume is aimed primarily for students of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, coaches, trainers, parents and others involved in youth sport programs and in the preparation of young athletes .

The editors hope that the contributions which comprise this volume will serve to enhance the sport experiences of youth, minimize potential risks , and maximize potential benefits by educating adults who work with them in the context of sport. Robert M Malina This book addresses relevant issues within the scope of organized sports. Chapters are written by distinguished contributors with a comprehensive list of topics that under the coordination, the leadership and expertise of the editors, provided the scientific literature with an unique and in depth analysis of social, biological, cultural and related interactions. This book is published by the renowned University of Coimbra. The same University that only a short time ago began to offer a course in Physical Education and Sport under the intellectual and scientific leadership of Francisco Sobral Leal. His work in Portugal is both unique and pioneering. Here he has been able to be influential. This book, due to its quality and the nature of its topics, is thus a fine tribute to his work and culture of interaction. A tribute of science in the name of knowledge. Luis Bettencourt Sardinha

The Young Athlete presents the available information relevant to exercise and training in youth, reviewed and summarized by authors who are recognized as leaders in their respective fields. The Young Athlete is subdivided into seven parts covering: the physiologic bases of physical performance in view of growth and development; trainability and the consequences of a high level of physical activity during childhood and adolescence for future health; the epidemiology of injuries, their prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation; non-orthopedic health concerns including the pre-participation examination; psychosocial issues relevant to young athletes; diseases relevant to child and adolescent athletes; the methodology relevant to the assessment of young athletes. This valuable reference summarizes a large database of information from thousands of studies and is especially relevant to sports physicians, pediatricians, general practitioners, physical therapists, dietitians, coaches, students, and researchers in the exercise sciences.

This book was released on 2006-12-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been produced as a tribute to the work of Martin Lee on the role of sport in the socio-moral education of young people. After conducting the first UK conference on Children in Sport, founded the Institute for the Study of Children in Sport at Bedford College of Higher Education in 1986 and created level 1, 2 and 3 courses on coaching children for the National Coaching Foundation. He also edited a book on Coaching Children in Sport. His course book on Coaching Children in Mini-basketball was produced for international distribution. The study of values has been central in Martin’s research which also embraced such topics as self-concept, leadership, coaching behaviour, and parental influence. In a series of research commissions examined the literature, clarified measurement requirements, identified values activated in sport, and led an international project on fair play. He then ran a survey to show how values influence attitudes directly and through the mediation of achievement goals. Two new instruments arose from this research: the Attitudes to Moral Decision-making in Youth Sport Questionnaire and the Youth Sport Values Questionnaire-2. These will open up research into gamesmanship, by which competitors seek an unfair advantage without breaking the rules, and into the mechanisms by which moral, competence and status values guide behaviour and create value conflicts. I am also grateful to colleagues at the University of Coimbra for their initiative in gathering the distinguished international scholars who have contributed to this book. Their collective insights will enhance the understanding of socio-moral education through sport and lead to informed and sensitive policy development in both sport and education.
