Coaching Behavior Assessment

We want to see how well you remember what kinds of things your coach did.  We also want to know how often your coach did things during games and camp sessions.  In answering the questions, think only about the actions of the coach that gave you this survey.

1. The first thing is called Reward. Coaches reward or praise athletes when they do something well or try really hard. Some coaches give a lot of Reward while others do not.  How often did your coach Reward you for good plays or effort?  Circle the number that indicates how often your coach Rewarded

2. Nonreward is when a coach does not reward or praise an athlete after he/she makes a good play or tries hard. In other words, the coach ignores it. Circle the number that indicates how often your coach did not reward you when he/she should have.

3. Sometimes athletes mess up and make mistakes. Some coaches give a lot of Encouragement after Mistakes. For example, he/she might say, “That’s OK, don’t worry about it.  You’ll get it next time.”  Other coaches don’t give their athletes much encouragement after they make a mistake.  Circle how often your coach gave you Encouragement after Mistakes.

4. Another thing a coach might do after a mistake is show or tell the athlete how to do it right. For example, a football coach might tell or show a player the right way to tackle after he misses the ball carrier. This is called Corrective Instruction.  Circle how often your coach did this with you.

5. Punishment includes things like yelling at an athlete who has made a mistake. Punishment is also saying or doing something that hurts an athlete’s feelings, or embarrass him/her. Circle how often your coach did this with you.

6. Sometimes a coach will show you how to correct a mistake, but in an unpleasant, punishing way. This is a combination of Corrective Instruction and Punishment. For example, a basketball coach might angrily say, “Pass the ball, don’t dribble so much, Dummy!”  Circle how often your coach did this with you.

7. Sometimes when you make a mistake is made, coaches say or do nothing. They simple Ignore Mistakes. Circle how often your coach did this with you.

8. The next thing is called Keeping Control. Coaches do this when their athletes are misbehaving or not paying attention. For example, if athletes are fooling around, the coach might say, “Knock it off and pay attention.”  How often did your coach do that?

9. Some coaches do a lot of teaching. A coach might give Instructions, not because a mistake has been made, but just to show athletes how to do things correctly. How often did your coach give you Instructions?

10. Coaches don’t give Encouragement only after mistakes. They may do it any time, even when things are going well. For example, a coach may clap his/her hands and shout encouragement at any time during practices and games.  How often did your coach give you Encouragement?

11. The next thing is called Organization. This includes things like keeping practices running smoothly, making sure the equipment is in the right place, announcing substitutions — in other words, keeping things organized. How often did your coach do things like that?

12. Some coaches talk or joke with their athletes a lot. They might talk about school, professional sports, vacations, or about when they used to be an athlete. This is called General Communication.  Circle how often your coach did this with you.

Self-Scoring Instructions:

For Questions 1 – 12, the higher scores indicate more alignment with those types of behavior categories. For example, if you score a 5, then the athlete thinks you display that behavior seldomly. Since you are asking multiple athletes to complete this assessment, you will need to get the average score for EACH question. For example, if you have three (3) athletes completing this assessment, you will add up each of their scores for you on question 1 then divide the total by 3. The resulting score (the average score for that question) for question 1 is YOUR final score for question 1. You need to repeat this process for each question. Report your final, average score for each question in the table below.
