ABSTRACT:
While it is common practice for parents to coach their own children, research to date has not examined the impact of parent-coaches. This study investigated the effect of parent-coaches on participation motivation and competitive state anxiety. Parent-coached (n = 36) and nonparent-coached (n = 26) children participated in this study. These children completed a demographic questionnaire, the Participation Motivation Inventory, and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2. A principal components factor analysis was conducted on the PMI and revealed eight factors labeled: Achievement/Status, Being Active, Fitness, Team, Energy Release, Friendship, Skills, and Fun. A MANOVA was conducted on the factor scores. Participant motives between parent-coached and nonparent-coached participants did not significantly differ. No significant differences were found on a MANOVA on competitive state anxiety between parent- and nonparent-coached athletes. While parent involvement in yough sport has often been negatively regarded, this investigation did not support a differential impact on children.
