To achieve this goal, 10 school sports coaches registered in the Korean Sport & Olympic Committee in 2021, with more than five years of coaching experience and have participated in sports human rights education, were selected as research participants.

Inductive category analysis was performed on the collected data, and the research results derived through the above process are as follows. First, environmental reasons of human rights violations of school sports coaches were ‘Excessive involvement of parents in the athletics department’, ‘Self-centered human rights protection of student-athletes’, and ‘Unstabled working conditions of school team’.
