ABSTRACT:
The relationship between coaching behavior and the quality of a team's performance was investigated in 14 youth soccer and football coaches. Nonparticipant observers coded the coaches' behavior into four "positive" and four "negative" categories. It was discovered that: (1) 25 per cent of the behaviors were categorized as negative; (2) a significant relationship existed between positive/negative behaviors and team performance; and (3) girls' coaches provided their athletes with substantially less technical instruction than did the boys' coaches. Implications for youth coaching are discussed. Analyzes youth sport coaches to determine the nature of their behavior. Investigates whether a relationship exists between behavior and the quality of a team's performance. Fourteen youth coaches were analyzed by non-participant observers. Coaches' behaviors were coded into four positive and four negative categories. Findings indicated that 25% of the behavior was negative, there was a significant relationship between positive-negative behaviors and team performance, and girls' coaches provided their athletes with substantially less technical instruction than did boys' coaches.
