THE RELATION OF COACHING STYLES ON THE TRAINING PERFORMANCE AND SPORTING BEHAVIOR OF CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY VARSITY ATHLETES

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relation of coaching styles on the training performance and sporting behavior of Cavite State University Varsity athletes, A.Y 2021-2022. Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions: (1) What is the level of coaching style of the Cavite State University coaches in terms of: Dominant, Influencing, Steady and Conscientious? (2) What is the level of training performance of varsity athletes in terms of: Skills, Agility and Strength? (3) What is the level of sporting behavior of varsity athletes in terms of: Sportsmanship, Teamwork and Camaraderie? (4) Is there any significance relation between the coaching styles and training performance of varsity athletes? (5) Is there any significance relation between the coaching styles and sporting behavior of varsity athletes? The descriptive method of research was utilized in this study. The questionnaire was given to fifty (50) respondents who are the varsity athletes in Cavite State University. Selected through simple random sampling technique. The questionnaire composed of three (3) parts such as Coaching style, Training Performance and Sporting behavior. Based on findings of this study in terms of Dominant is observed to have a significant moderate relationship with Sportsmanship (0.487), Teamwork (0.532), and Camaraderie (0.482). The computed r values of the tests were all greater than 0.235 and the computed p-values were less than 0.05, hence the significance of the tests. Similarly, Influencing is observed to have a significant moderate relationship with Sportsmanship (0.462), Teamwork (0.407), and Camaraderie (0.419). Also, the computed r values of the tests were greater than the critical value for r and the computed p-values were less than the significance alpha, hence the significance of the tests. Contrastingly, Steady is observed to have a significant weak relationship with Sportsmanship (0.371) and Teamwork (0.339), and a moderate relationship with Camaraderie (0.339). The computed r values of the tests were also greater than 0.235 and the computed p-values 0.008, 0.016, and 0.004 were less than 0.05. Lastly, Conscientious is observed to have a significant moderate relationship with Sportsmanship (0.397), Teamwork (0.563), and Camaraderie (0.543). From the findings above, it is inferred that at 0.05 level of significance, the null hypothesis showing that ?there is no significance relation between the coaching styles and sporting behavior of varsity athletes? is rejected. This calls for the acceptance of the alternative which incites that there is a relation between the two.
