Do concordant coach-athlete dyads predict higher athletes' perceived competence?

Résumé

Objectives. Although co-orientation (i.e., coaches’ and athletes’ level of similarity and understanding concerning their views of the quality of their relationship) is considered as a key element of the coach-athlete relationship (CAR) quality, it has been poorly investigated in the literature. The present study aims to extend knowledge on this topic by exploring the associations between one dimension of co-orientation, actual similarities (i.e., the degree of concordance between coaches’ and athletes’ perceptions of their relationship), and athletes' perceived competence. Method. 152 French handball players (Mage = 15.09, SD = 0.87; 50% male) and their coaches (N= 9), involved in intensive training centres evaluated their CAR quality through the CART-Q (Jowett & Ntoumanis, 2004). In addition, athletes’ perceived competence has been measured (Trouilloud & Amiel, 2011). Results. Response surface analyses revealed that actual similarities were significantly related to athletes’ perceived competence. Specifically, the athletes’ perceived competence was higher when athletes’ and coaches’ perceptions of the CAR quality were concordant at high values (p <.001). In addition, results indicated that the athletes’ perceived competence was higher when their perceptions of the CAR quality were superior to that of their coaches (p <.001). Conclusion. By exploring the co-orientation through response surface analysis, this study offers new perspectives on the understanding of the CAR. The results support theoretical principles from 3+1Cs model (Jowett, 2007) suggesting that the degree of concordance between coaches’ and athletes’ perceptions of the quality of their relationship may be associated with athletes’ perceived competence. Future work is encouraged to further explore the dimension of co-orientation and its relationship with athlete development.
