Keywords:
Athletes, Athletes' Satisfaction, Coaches Behavior, Professional Athletes, Non Professional AthletesAbstract
The present study examined the association between coach performance and satisfaction among professional and non-professional athletes. The sample in this study comprised 200 male and female athletes. 100 professional athletes, 50 male and 50 female, were chosen from various national teams and institutions. 100 non-professional athletes, 50 male and 50 female, were chosen from various schools and institutions. The demographic sample was compiled from various colleges, clubs, sports institutes of higher learning, and national teams. Data was collected using a method known as purposeful sampling. The Coaches Behavior Scale for Sports and the Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to evaluate the research variables. The purpose of this study was to find out whether a coach's attitude has an essential effect on improving player performance; coaches may have a substantial impact on an athlete's life independent of their engagement in sports. The findings confirmed all predictions, revealing that coach action is positively connected to athlete satisfaction, that male athletes are more pleased than female athletes, and that professionals are more contented than non-professional athletes. The findings indicate that there is a significant difference between professional and amateur athletes.
