athletes were recruited voluntarily from the active athletes in Konya province in 2019. The data
collection utilized in this study was developed by Cote et al. (1999) and adapted to Turkish by Yapar
and İnce (2014) under the title “Coach Behavior Assessment Scale for Athletes.” The t-test, analysis of
variance, and correlation analysis were performed for the data analysis through the SPSS 20.0
program. It was determined that the amateur athletes evaluated the coach behaviors positively.
Individual sports had higher positivity rates than team sports in the physical training and planning,
technical skills, mental preparation, target setting, and competition strategy sub-dimensions.
Moreover, females evaluated the coach behaviors more positively in the physical training and
planning dimensions. It was found that the coach behavior assessments are more positive with higher
age, less sports experience, higher planning, preparation, and strategies of the trainers to improve
their competition and training skills as even some negative coach behaviors are assessed more
positively with higher sportive experience.
