“…Previous research has reported a relationship between athletes' satisfaction with their coach and coaches' overall coaching efficacy . In addition, athletes' satisfaction has been linked to their perceptions that their coach is competent in motivating them and influencing their psychological skills and states .A construct conceptually similar to satisfaction is sport enjoyment (Scanlan, Carpenter, Scanlan, Simons, & Lobel, 1993), which involves a positive emotional response to a sport experience that may include feelings such as pleasure, liking, and fun . The coaching efficacy model suggests that increased levels of coaching efficacy should result in higher levels of athlete satisfaction .…”

This study examined the relationships between athletes' perceptions of coaching effectiveness, based on the coaching efficacy model, and their effort, commitment, enjoyment, self-efficacy, and prosocial and antisocial behavior in rugby union. Participants were 166 adult male rugby-union players (M age = 26.5, SD = 8.5 years), who completed questionnaires measuring their perceptions of four dimensions of coaching effectiveness as well as their effort, commitment, enjoyment, self-efficacy, and prosocial and antisocial behavior. Regression analyses, controlling for rugby experience, revealed that athletes' perceptions of motivation effectiveness predicted effort, commitment, and enjoyment. Further, perceptions of technique effectiveness predicted self-efficacy, while perceptions of characterbuilding effectiveness predicted prosocial behavior. None of the perceived coaching effectiveness dimensions were related to antisocial behavior. In conclusion, athletes' evaluations of their coach's ability to motivate, provide instruction, and instill an attitude of fair play in his athletes have important implications for the variables measured in this study.In the general coaching effectiveness literature, effective coaching behaviors are considered those that result in positive outcomes for athletes; examples of these outcomes are performance, enjoyment, self-esteem, and perceived ability (see Horn, 2002). Thus, effective coaches are generally those, who, through their behaviors, produce positive outcomes in athletes. However, models of coaching effectiveness also point to the central role of athletes' perceptions of coaching behaviors in affecting athlete-related outcomes (Horn, 2002;Smoll & Smith, 1989). Thus, in studies of coaching effectiveness, the investigation of athletes' perceptions of coaching behavior is important. In the current study, coaching effectiveness was operationalized based on the coaching efficacy model and athlete-related outcomes specified in this model were examined. The construct of coaching efficacy was developed by Feltz and colleagues, who used Bandura's (1986Bandura's ( , 1997 theory of self-efficacy as their guiding framework, and defined coaching efficacy as the extent to which coaches believe that they have the capacity to influence the learning and performance of their athletes (Feltz, Chase, Moritz, & Sullivan, 1999). Coaching efficacy has been described as multidimensional in nature, consisting of four dimensions: motivation, game strategy, technique, and character building . Motivation efficacy is the confidence coaches have in their ability to influence the psychological skills and states of their athletes. Game strategy efficacy is the coaches' confidence in their ability to coach and lead their team to a successful performance during competition. Technique efficacy refers to the coaches' efficacy beliefs about their instructional and diagnostic skills. Finally, character-building efficacy concerns the coaches' beliefs in their ability to influence their athletes' personal development...

“…Results indicated that sport enjoyment and personal investments were the most important determinants, accounting for 58% of the variance in sport commitment. Carpenter et al (1993) examined the same model on a group of 1342 youth athletes from the sports of football, soccer, and volleyball using structural equation modeling.…”

This study examined the applicability of the Sport Commitment Model for a group of elite, professional athletes. The model proposes that an athlete's commitment will increase as sport enjoyment, personal investments, social constraints, and involvement opportunities increase and will decrease with an increase in involvement opportunities. The influence of identification as an athlete, a determinant of commitment not included in the original model, was also examined. One hundred and eighty three ii professional football players from the Canadian Football League (CFL) (n = 121) and National Football League (NFL) (n = 69) participated in the study.

The purpose of this study was to develop a Japanese version of the Sport Commitment Scale (SCS-J), originally developed by Scanlan et al. (1993a;1993b), and examine the relationship between sports commitment and the frequency of competitive sports participation. The participants were 1125 college students who played competitive sports in collegiate athletics or another sports activity (male: 822, female: 285). The Sport Commitment Scale 1993b) was translated into Japanese using the back translation method, and the reliability and validity of the SCS-J were examined.The results indicated the reliability (internal consistency, reproducibility) and validity (construct validity, criterion-related validity) of the SCS-J and illustrated the scale's usefulness. In addition, the result of examining the relationship between sports commitment and frequency of sports participation, sports commitment was positively associated with the frequency of sports participation. This result supported previous findings of a relationship between sports commitment and sports participation. In conclusion, this study confirmed the reliability, validity, and usefulness of the SCS-J.
