Abstract:

This study is aimed at studying the impact of coach-athlete relationships on fair play behaviors. The research was carried out with the easy sampling method and the work group was formed by 150 boxers who participated in the Grand Women-Men Turkey Ferdi Boxing Championship held in Erzurum in 2019. The study used two scales, the "Trainer-Sports Relationship Scale" and the "Sports Orientation Scale". The trainer-sports relationship scale was developed by Jowett and Ntoumanis (2004) and the Turkish validity and confidence was made by Altıntaş and your friends (2012). It consists of the sub-dimensions of "Connectivity", "Connectivity", "Connectivity" and 11 questions. Sportmenlik Orientation Scale was developed by Vallerand and his friends (1997) and made by Turkish adaptation Balçıkanlı (2010) The Turkish version of the scale consists of 20 items and 4 sub-dimensions. These dimensions are the subdimensions of “compliance with social norms”, “respect of rules and governance”, “sports responsibility” and “concurrent respect”. The data analysis used frequency, percentage, correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. The correlation analysis found that the "Sports Orientation" "Trainer's Sports Relationship" was linked positively, in other words, as the coach's sports relationship increased, the boxers' sports orientation levels also increased. The hierarchical Regression Analysis shows that the trainer-athlete relationship has a positive contribution to the sporting direction. On the other hand, the year of boxing, the year of current club attendance, the time of work with the current coach and the daily training time variables have no effect on the sporting direction. Even though the relationship between coach and athlete is in a positive direction with the other subdimensions of the athletic orientation, it has not been found a meaningful relationship with the subdimensions of rival respect.
