The Coach-Athlete Relationship and Athlete Psychological Outcomes

Authors: McGee, Victoria;

The Coach-Athlete Relationship and Athlete Psychological Outcomes

Abstract

Athletes’ relationships with their coaches have important implications for outcomes of psychological health. Further examination of these associations is needed to identify the aspects of the coach-athlete relationship most linked to athlete burnout and engagement. This study examined associations among athlete perceptions of the coach-athlete relationship and burnout and engagement across a competitive season. We hypothesized that athlete endorsement of higher levels of markers of the coach-athlete relationship (closeness, commitment, and complementarity) would be negatively associated with perceptions of burnout and positively associated with perceptions of engagement. Participants were female collegiate rowers (N=37; Mage=19.3 years, SD=1.18) who completed online self-report assessments of study variables across four seasonal survey waves. Multilevel linear modeling analyses revealed closeness, one of the coach-athlete relationship markers, to be a significant predictor of seasonal global burnout and engagement. Study findings inform the design of interventions to promote engagement and deter burnout via improving coach-athlete closeness perceptions.
