“…The coach's mastery enables the athletes to trust them, to respect them, to learn from a constantly observable example (Boardley & Jackson, 2012;Delgado & Gomez, 2011). Meanwhile, creating a conflict environment when unsuccessful athletes are laughed at and condemned for failures predicts poor sport behaviours of athletes (Davies, Stellino, Nichols, & Coleman, 2015). Besides, according to coaches who participated in the research, the moral education measures affect the development of the personality of the trainees and help them to achieve sports results and pursue further career.…”

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.

“…This finding is in concord with the previous study which reported that athletes can succeed in their sports when they have an adequate level of ego to perform. 28 When athletes feel confident, they are more freely able to turn sporting potential into greater performance. Equally, when they feel unsure of themselves, the slightest setback or smallest obstacle can have an undue effect on their performance.…”

“…This finding is congruent with some study which reported that self-confidence differentiates between the highly successful and less successful athletes. [27][28] At a higher athletic level of performance, self-confidence contributes to the success of athletes which also determine whether athletes can give up or remain focused on their objectives after a series of setbacks. Additionally, flexibility is shown as the features of the athletes belonging to the HPG.…”

“…Similarly, the finding corresponds with that of Davies and colleague who revealed that ego is the certainty of feeling that you are equal to the task at hand. 28 This sureness is measured by absolute belief in ability. However, the finding from the same group reveals that the group differs from others in relation to their relative performance of cardiovascular endurance.…”

Nonetheless, research that integrates physical fitness and goal orientation as a relative performance and uses them as a criterion predictor in the selection of potential athletes are considerably limited. Thus, this study aims to examine the relative performance quality pattern of 223 male athletes that trains under Terengganu sports development program in relation to physical fitness and psychological components. MATERIALS AND METHODS Participants:The participants of the current study comprised of 223 male adolescent athletes (17.38 ± 1.92 years). The participants were recruited from the interstate championship with various types of sports from Terengganu state in Malaysia. These athletes represented their corresponding divisions in the competition and were reflected the best at the state level for the under 21 year's age groups. These age groups were chosen because of research suggesting that participation motives and achievement behavior changes around this age. 10 The measurements were carried out in the first three months of 2015. The coaches and the managers of the athletes were informed about the purpose of the research. Writing approval was obtained, and all the players signed consent forms. Procedure of Battery Tests: Anthropometric Test: Standard anthropometric testing was conducted which constitutes of height and weight with the subjects dressed in light clothing. Height was measured with a wallmounted wooden stadiometer to the nearest 0.5 cm. Body weight was evaluated with a standardized electronic digital scale to the nearest 0.1 kg. Body mass index (BMI) was measured as body mass in kilograms ABSTRACTObjective: This study investigates the relative performance quality pattern of athletes that trains under Terengganu sports development program based on physical fitness and psychological components. Methods: Relative performance data (223×7) were obtained from various types of sport, and its main tributaries were evaluated for physical fitness and TEOSQ instrument. Multivariate methods of hierarchical agglomerative cluster analysis (HACA), discriminant analysis (DA), principal component analysis (PCA), and principal factor analysis (PFA), were used to study the relative performance variations of the most significant performance quality variables and to determine the origin of relative performance components. Results: Three clusters of performance were shaped in view of HACA. Forward and backward stepwise DA discriminates six and five performance quality variables from the first seven variables. PCA and FA were used to identify the origin of each quality performance variables based on three clustered groups. Three PCs were obtained with 67% total variation for the highperformance group (HPG) region, three PCs with 72% and 64% total variances were obtained for the moderate-performance group (MPG) and low-performance group (LPG) regions, respectively. The general performance sources for the three groups are from cardiovascular and ego orientation sources. The differences between groups are from flexibi...

“…Youth athletes who have an ego goal orientation will focus instead on maximizing favorable evaluations of their competence while minimizing negative evaluations of their competence. Ego orientation is a positive predictor of poor sports behavior and a negative predictor of good sports behavior (Davies, Babkes Stellino, Nichols, & Coleman, 2016). Good sports behaviors refer to positive interactions, respect for others and the rules of the game, whereas poor sports behaviors refer to negative interactions with the environment and those involved, as well as a lack of respect for the rules (Bortoli, Messina, Zorba, & Robazza, 2012).…”

The Relationship Between Sources of Information and Perceived Competence Across a Sports Season: A Planned Missing Data Approach

This study explores the effect of various sources of information on youth athletes' perceived competence across a sports season. Of interest was how relationship variables (e.g., parent, peer and coach) and motivational variables (e.g., task and ego orientation) affected perceived competence at three-time points during a sports season. Two studies were conducted: A metaanalysis was undertaken to determine current understanding of these relationships within published research literature, and a quantitative study of 182 youth athletes (95 male, 87 female), ranging in age from 6 to 17 years, with an average age of 11.82 was conducted, using a planned missing data design. Both the meta-analysis and the quantitative study found task and ego orientation to have a positive relationship with perceived competence. Results from the metaanalysis also suggested that ego orientation may be differentially related to perceived competence as a function of culture (i.e., individualistic vs collectivist). The quantitative study looked at both between and within-person variability across a sports season. Results suggested that while relational and motivational variables were related to perceived competence in expected ways, perceived competence was also sensitive to changes, relative to the average, of both relationship quality and motivational variables, across a sports season. Results of the present thesis can be used to educate both coaches and parents as to the complex role that significant relationships and motivational climate play in understanding perceived competence in youth athletes.
