The Coaching Success Questionnaire-2 (CSQ-2) was developed to provide a global assessment of coaches' ability to develop critical athlete outcomes (e.g., self-confidence). Study 1 examined the responses of 212 collegiate athletes on the 106-item CSQ-2A, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) results provided empirical guidance for modification and refinement of the instrument. Study 2 utilized EFA and covariance modeling to examine the responses of 352 participants on the 76-item CSQ-2B, resulting in the final 40-item, 10-factor model. Study 3 confirmed the model with a sample of 396 athletes demonstrating strong factorial validity (i.e., RMSEA =.07; SRMR =.05; NNFI =.98; CFI =.99). Construct validity of the CSQ-2 was also examined using bivariate correlations and multivariate analysis of variance across psychosocial correlate variables (i.e., athlete self-confidence, enjoyment/boredom, motivational climate and athlete burnout). Results provided preliminary support for the construct validity of the CSQ-2 and discussion focused on possible uses of this new measure of coaching success as both a research and coach development tool.
This study examined relationships among coaching success, servant leadership, team cohesion, athlete resilience and social behaviors utilizing responses from over 300 collegiate athletes. Horn’s (2008) model of coaching effectiveness served as the basis from which variables were operationalized and concurrently measured. Bivariate correlation analysis identified significant correlations among servant leadership and coaching success, cohesion and coaching success, cohesion and servant leadership, resilience and coaching success, and resilience and servant leadership, with most relationships moderate to weak. Canonical correlations were used to examine the data in greater depth and significant canonical variants revealed both expected and unexpected relationships. Multivariate analysis of variance results identified a significant main effect and seven significant follow-up analysis of variance tests. Athlete resilience, coach servant leadership and task-based team cohesion all varied significantly across the three levels of coaching success. Results of this study can be used by coaches, athletic administrators and coach educators for coach development.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
