| Summary: | Coaching is an interpersonal endeavour that necessitates interaction between the coach and athlete. Effective coaching can significantly enhance the athletes' performance by enabling the coach to motivate, improve their technique, build their character, and develop game strategies. Conversely, athletes who hold themselves to high standards and strive for excellence can reap benefits from working harder to improve and learn from their mistakes within the perfectionist climate, including expectations, criticism, control, conditional regard, and anxiousness. Therefore, the goal of this research was to scrutinize if coaching effectiveness can strengthen perfectionist traits in young athletes. The research analysed 180 youth athletes (92 = males and 88 = females) between the ages of 13 and 24 across eleven different individual sports. The coaching effectiveness scale (CES) and the Perfectionist Climate Questionnaires (PCQ) were used to identify the effectiveness of coaching and perfectionism in youth athletes. The study hypotheses were analysed using an independent t-test to examine gender differences, Pearson's correlation to explore the relationship between coaching effectiveness and perfectionism, and regression analysis to predict dimensions and elements based on the significance level. The findings revealed a small negative correlation between most components with a p-value of 0.05 and significant gender differences for perfectionism (P<0.05). Additionally, a 13.7% prediction existed for motivation effectiveness and perfectionist tendencies (expectations and conditional regards). Therefore, it is crucial to acknowledge the significance of coaching effectiveness in promoting the advancement of their athletes. This necessitates a meticulous consideration of both intrinsic and extrinsic psychological components within the coaching methodology. Such an approach serves as a highly valuable tool, particularly in guaranteeing that young athletes attain optimal levels of excellence and adhere to the appropriate standards. |
