Abstract(s)
This study summarises a line of research on interventions with coaches of young soccer and basketball
players. First, the evolution of theoretical models and intervention programmes with coaches was reviewed. Second, we
describe the advantages of conducting programmes that combine an assessment of communication style and motivational
climate and aim to individualise interventions with coaches as far as possible. Furthermore, the Coaching Behaviour
Assessment System (CBAS) was used to evaluate the effects of personal assessment programmes on the coachesā
behaviour (PAPE1 & PAPE2). In both studies, the behaviours proposed as priority objectives and those not considered a
priority were analysed separately. The results of both studies showed an increase in the supporting behaviours by coaches
(i.e., reinforcement, encouragement after mistakes, general encouragement) and a decrease in punitive behaviours (i.e.,
punishment and punitive technical instruction) according to the objectives proposed in the personalised programmes in
88% of the cases. Moreover, this improvement also occured in the cases of coaches who did not establish those behaviors
as an objective. Both personalised assessment programmes were more efficient in changing coachesā behaviors than the
group interventions in which coaches could not establish their priority objectives.
