“…Significant indirect effects showed athlete perceptions of technical and strength and conditioning coaches' DCE are linked with susceptibility to intentional and inadvertent doping through doping SRE and MD—factors previously associated with doping. Athlete perceptions of coach efficacy are likely based on relevant coaching behaviors . Therefore, specific coaching behaviors may be critical to the formation of athlete doping SRE and doping MD.…”

“…Athlete perceptions of coach efficacy are likely based on relevant coaching behaviors. 9 Therefore, specific coaching behaviors may be critical to the formation of athlete doping SRE and doping MD. A coach modeling the importance of resisting pressures and risks to dope is likely to be perceived as having elevated levels of DCE.…”

“…Importantly, coaches with strong DCE beliefs may be more likely to advise athletes on how to avoid and resist pressures to dope. Athletes who observe such coach behaviors should be more likely to perceive their coach as high in DCE . This can have downstream effects, as supported by athlete perceptions of coach DCE being negatively linked with doping attitudes .…”

Objectives We tested a conceptually grounded model linking athlete perceptions of strength and conditioning and technical coach doping confrontation efficacy (DCE) with athletes’ doping self‐regulatory efficacy (SRE), doping moral disengagement (MD), and susceptibility to intentional and inadvertent doping. Design Cross‐sectional, correlational. Methods Participants were high‐level athletes (nmale = 532; nfemale = 290) recruited in Australia (n = 261), the UK (n = 300), and the USA (n = 261). All participants completed questionnaires assessing the variables alongside a variant of the randomized response technique to estimate the prevalence of doping. Results The estimated prevalence of intentional doping in the sample was 13.9%. Structural equation modeling established: (a) perceptions of technical and strength and conditioning coaches’ DCE positively predicted doping SRE; (b) doping SRE negatively predicted doping MD; (c) doping MD positively predicted susceptibility to intentional and inadvertent doping; and (d) the predictive effects of coach perceptions on susceptibility to doping were mediated by doping SRE and doping MD. Multisample analyses demonstrated these predictive effects were invariant between males and females and across the three countries represented. Conclusions The findings show the conceptually grounded model to offer extended understanding of how multiple individuals within the athlete support personnel network may influence athlete doping.

“…Thus the informants mentioned the qualities of a good coach which partly reiterated their opinions about what was important in developing moral behaviour and achieving goals in sports activities. It also reflects the coach's ability to develop athlete's skills, motivate, build character, mentioned in the coaching efficiency model (Boardley, 2017). Besides, the ability to build good team relationships is important not only working with children.…”

Background. Moral behaviour and moral education of young athletes still remain an important issue in sports context. This study was designed to examine coaches’ perspectives on moral education in sport. Methods. In this study, aiming at establishing the perspectives of coaches on the moral education of athletes in sports activities, qualitative research was selected. Primary data were collected via semi-structured interviews with nine basketball and football coaches of different experience and age. The data were analysed applying thematic analysis. Results. Thematic analysis indicated that coaches identified goals of athletes’ education as the development of athletes’ personality, motivation, the development of sports excellence and the encouragement to achieve victory. Coaches defined moral education as the development of the authority of an athlete, fair play, compliance with rules, and integrity. The most common means coaches used for moral education were explanation, discussion, lectures, meetings, personal examples, case analyses. Such means are important for athlete’s personal development, pursuit of results, and career planning. The qualities of good coach were professional knowledge, authority, competences of creating motivational climate, and also moral competences. Conclusion. A central finding of the study is that coaches define moral education in sport through the education of moral values and the goals set by coaches related not only to the sports results, but also to the development of the personality of athletes. Personal role of coaches in moral education encompassing professional knowledge and moral competences of athletes is of great importance.
