| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to provide an assessment
tool to judge coaching performance that was appropriate for
completion by athletes. The questionnaire underwent a
variety of developmental stages. In its final form it
contained 36 items. The tool was shown to be a valid, reliable,
readable, and standardized assessment tool. It demonstrated
discriminability and provoked honest, accurate responding in
subjects. The test was capable of providing immediate
feedback to coaches seeking feedback about athletes'
perceptions of their performance. Responses on the developed scale were weighted to reflect the desirability of the
coaching characteristics and behaviours of a good coach. It
provides a total score which can be interpreted by the coach
as a measure of how much of an '’ideal*' coach exists in
him/her. | |
