Abstract

The coach-athlete relationship in sports is one of those areas affected by the sudden shift in paradigm caused by the pandemic. The coaches’ ability to interact with their athletes has changed after the pandemic crisis. Using the self-determination and behaviorism theories, the study’s primary purpose is to identify the level of coaching practices, the level of athletes’ behavior towards sports, and the significant relationship between these two variables. The participants of this study were 186 varsity athletes from different sports at the college level of the University of Mindanao. This study used a descriptive quantitative correlation study to describe the relationship that naturally occurs between and among them. The study's overall result shows no significant relationship between coaching practices and athletes' behavior toward sports, specifically on the antisocial behavior of athletes. However, the result also revealed that coaching practices have a significant relationship and are related to the athletes' prosocial behavior. The findings indicate that coaching practices did not affect athletes' antisocial behavior, but did affect the athletes’ prosocial behavior with the sport. Future studies could focus on including other aspects of coaching practices as it shows a significant effect on the prosocial behavior of the athlete.
