Book excerpt: The aim of the current thesis was to investigate athletes' perceptions of coaching effectiveness in team and individual sport. The introduction reviews the literature on coaching effectiveness of direct relevance to this thesis. This chapter also identifies a number of theoretical frameworks to the investigation of coaching effectiveness in sport, and subsequently uses these to inform the empirical studies that follow. The first of these Chapter 2, investigated a number of antecedents of athletes' perceptions of their coach's effectiveness, finding athlete sex, sport type (id est, individual vs. team) coaching behavior were all predictive of athletes' perceptions of their coach's effectiveness. Next, Chapter 3 focused on outcomes of athlete perceptions of their coach, showing such perceptions of coaching effectiveness were predictive of athlete-level outcomes representing all four of the key outcomes. This was shown in two separate samples of athletes representing a range of team and individual sports, one from the UK and one from Malaysia. Then, Chapter 4 investigated whether athletes' perceptions of coaching effectiveness mediated longitudinal predictive effects of perceptions of coach's transformational leadership behavior on three different athlete outcomes. This study demonstrated the longitudinal predictive effects of appropriate role model behaviour on antisocial teammate behavior and individual consideration behavior on trust were mediated by athletes' perceptions of their coach's effectiveness in character building and motivation, respectively. Finally the present thesis extend the coaching effectiveness literature by furthering our understanding on antecedents and outcomes of coaching effectiveness in team and individual sport, as well as the possible processes involved.

This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport is a medium through which the leader can greatly influence the consequences. The purpose of this research was to examine the ways in which perceived coach leadership behaviors impact perceptions of coaching performance, individual athlete performance, team performance, and lifelong outcomes. In this study, two hundred seventy nine former student-athletes were asked to recall and report on the experiences they had as an athlete during high school along with specific lifelong outcomes (e.g., confidence, control etc.). Student judgment of their coaches' types of behavior, (e.g., Democratic vs. Autocratic) was compared with perceptions of their coach's performance, their individual performance, their team's performance and various lifelong outcomes. Results revealed that Training and Instruction, Social Support, and Positive Feedback were related to Coach Performance. Training and Instruction and Democratic Behaviors were related to Individual Athlete Performance. Training and Instruction and Positive Feedback were related to Team Performance. Social Support structures were related to Athlete Challenge. Training and Instruction was related to Athlete Confidence in Abilities and overall Lifelong Outcomes. Autocratic Behaviors were related to Athlete Control of Emotions. Training and Instruction was found to be related to every short-term performance component. Coaches seeking to impact performance of their teams can do so by utilizing these leadership behaviors. Many of these behaviors also have a long-term positive effect on the individual. Sport managers seeking to satisfy the goals of the organization may employ these leadership behaviors to select, train, and evaluate staff members to increase the overall effectiveness of the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived coaching behaviors and the changes that occur in college athletes' perceptions of team cohesion and collective efficacy during a season. Additionally, the strength and direction of the relationship between collective efficacy and team cohesion was tested. To test these relationships, a series of questionnaires were administered to 180 collegiate athletes in the early season and late season. Multivariate multiple regression analyses indicated that increases in athletes' perceptions of team cohesion and collective efficacy over the season were positively correlated with perceptions of their coach exhibiting higher levels of democratic behavior, training and instruction, social support, positive feedback (LSS), and positive and informational feedback (CFQ) and lower levels of autocratic behaviors, punishment-oriented feedback, and non-reinforcement/ignoring mistakes. A significant relationship was also found between team cohesion and collective efficacy at the early season and especially at the late season measurement.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resilience in sport has been defined as "the role of mental processes and behavior in promoting personal assets and protecting an individual from the potential negative effect of stressors" (Fletcher & Sarkar, 2012, p. 675). Fletcher and Sarkar's (2012) found that various psychological factors were indicative of athlete resilience such as achievement motivation, social support, focus, confidence, and positive personality. To date, sport psychology researchers have dominantly examined resilience as an individual construct (e.g., Galli & Vealey, 2008; Fletcher & Sarkar; Wagstaff, Sarkar, Davidson, & Fletcher, 2016). However, it is also important to consider how athlete resilience might develop and operate in relationships with important others (e.g., coach). Narrative inquiry (Smith & Sparkes, 2009) was used in this study to explore the stories of seven NCAA Division I student-athletes' lived experiences of how the coach-athlete relationship influenced their ability to be resilient through major stress. Semi-structured interviews were conducted that asked participants about their respective coach-athlete relationship, how power and sociocultural factors influenced this relationship, and in turn, influenced student-athlete resilience. Braun and Clarke's (2006) thematic analysis was used for data analysis, which revealed the following themes: (a) Student-athlete core resilience, (b) The W.O.A.T., (c) The G.O.A.T., (d) W.O.AT. coach behaviors, (e) G.O.A.T. coach behaviors, (f) The W.O.A.T., the G.O.A.T., and student-athlete resilience, (g) The effect of coach major stress on student-athlete resilience, and (h) The relational shift: From bad to better, good to great. It is hoped that the findings of this study will be used as a powerful method from which coaches can emotionally connect with the participants' stories in order to better understand how they might operate within the coach-athlete relationship to influence student-athlete resilience.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this investigation was to examine the relationship among coach leadership factors, perceived motivational climate, and athlete psychosocial outcomes. Servant leadership is a concept growing in interest and popularity in many domains (Anderson, 2005; Drury, 2004; Rieke, Hammermeister, & Chase, 2008). This research examined the impact of coach servant leadership on perceived motivational climate and athlete psychosocial outcomes among 260 female high school club soccer players. Coaches and athletes assessed coach servant leadership using the RSLP-S (Hammermeister et al., 2008). Athletes answered surveys on perceived motivational climate and a range of psychosocial outcomes, including ability to cope with stress, sport confidence, ability beliefs, intrinsic motivation, motivational orientations, trait anxiety, and individual and team satisfaction. Hierarchical Linear Models were set up to test individual hypotheses. Findings revealed that coaches' servant leadership perceptions differed for coaches and athletes. As a result, coach-perceived servant leadership did not predict increments in motivation climate or athlete psychosocial outcomes. However, the athlete-perceived coach servant leadership enhanced prediction efficiency for perceived mastery climate and most of the positive psychosocial outcomes. While the addition of athlete-perceived servant leadership predicted increments in mastery climate in the HLM model, only the trust/inclusion subscale was significant. If athletes perceive a coach as trustworthy and inclusive, they were more likely to perceive a mastery climate. Additionally, coaches who were older and had higher license levels within US Youth Soccer created a stronger mastery climate. The discrepancy between athlete and coach perceptions is consistent with research in social psychology (Harms and Crede, 2010) and sport (Smith & Smoll, 1999) where leaders such as coaches seem to be inaccurate judges of their own behaviors. Thus, these findings suggest that it may be important for coaches of this age group to find ways to develop perceptions of trust and inclusion among their athletes.

Download or read book Student athlete Perception of Coaching Leadership Behaviors Influence on Mental Health Symptoms Associated with Anxiety Depression Suicidality and Substance Abuse written by Joan Elaine Thurston and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Student-athletes are viewed as the epitome of health due to their physical appearance and talent set; however, it is their psychological health that needs significant attention (Etzel, 2006). Psychosocial stressors such as the pressures and demands of being a student and athlete as well as the demands and expectations of the coach have significant impact on the student-athlete's mental health and well-being (Beauchemin, 2014; Cleary et al., 2011; Lafrenière et al., 2011; Mageau & Vallerand, 2003; Watson, 2005). The purpose of this research is to investigate any correlation between student-athletes' perceptions of coaching leadership behaviors and the symptoms associated with disorders such as anxiety, depression, suicidality, and substance abuse. The Leadership Scale for Sport (Chelladurai & Saleh, 1980) and the Symptom Assessment Measure instruments are used in this study. An exploratory analysis determined the reliability and construct validity of the instruments. Thirty-three student-athletes from a non-football Division I university engaged in the study, with twenty-eight completing some or all portions of study. All participants are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. A linear regression analysis demonstrated no relation between the independent variable, student-athlete perception of coaching leadership behaviors and the dependent variable, symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, suicidal behavior, and substance abuse mental health disorders, (F=.52, p=.49, R2=.061, and Beta coefficient was -0.248). Gender differences is not determined due to the skewed sample consisting of eighty five percent female and fifteen percent male. Though the linear regression analysis indicates no relation between the dependent and independent variable, supplemental contextualization was given to additional questions asked on the Symptoms Assessment Measure. These findings provide evidence that student-athletes perceive that their coach's leadership behaviors do have influence on their mental health. This reinforces reports that coaches do wield power over their athletes and their influence is related to student-athletes' psychological well-being (Horn, 2008; Locke et al., 2012; Stebbings et al., 2012).

This book was released on 2004 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to determine if athletes' perceptions of their coaches' behaviors are related to athletes' seasonal performance outcomes, as well as changes that occur over the season in athletes' perceived quality of life (QOL) scores. A secondary purpose was to determine if athletes' seasonal performance success would be related to changes that occur over the season in their QOL scores. Results showed that changes in male athletes' perceived QOL were significantly affected by both coaching behaviors and seasonal performance success measures. No significant relationship was found affecting females' perceived QOL. For all athletes, however, perceptions of coaching behavior significantly affected multiple measures of seasonal performance success, including both objective and subjective measures. The current study addresses gender differences and adds a new knowledge base to the previously unexplored area of coaching behavior, performance, and QOL of athletes outside of sport.

Download or read book The Effects of Autonomy Supportive Coaching Behaviors and Season Success on Coach Perception written by Ian P. Reardon and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Although autonomy supportive coaching has been correlated with both positive performance and psychosocial outcomes, little research has evaluated athletes’ perceptions of autonomy supportive coaching. In this study, autonomy supportive coaching behaviors were evaluated from the perspective of 149 NCAA Division II and III swimmers. Athletes evaluated hypothetical coaches in terms of perceived autonomy support and perceptions of the coach. Season success and autonomy support were manipulated in the scenarios about the hypothetical coaches. Participants who read about the autonomy supportive coaching perceived higher autonomy support than those who read controlling coaching scenarios. Participants who read the successful season scenario reported higher autonomy support and increased positive coach perception than those who read about an unsuccessful season. This finding indicates that a coach with a winning season is more highly regarded than the same coach, exhibiting the same behaviors with an unsuccessful season. Findings have implications for coaching research, education, and training.
