다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this research was the investigation of coaching intervention behavior as predictors of effective coaching. We adopted a descriptive research design of correlation type to gain an in-depth understanding of the participants’ views on the coaching intervention and effective coaching practice variables. The participants used for this study were 50 male and 34 female athletes with mean age (mean = 24.52; SD 9.4). Their sport involvement is athletics, judo, swimming, volleyball, handball and table tennis. The measures used were Perceived Coaching Intervention Questionnaire (r=.84) and Effective Coaching Scale (r=.79). The results shows positive correlations between Effective Coaching and Encouragement (r=.514**, P<.05), Technical Information (r=.614**, P< .05), Negative Feedback (r=.591**, P<.05) Positive feedback (r=.585**, P<.05). 46.9% of the variance in the dependent variables was explained by four predictor variables when taken together. Conclusively, it was identified that positive feedback was the most potent of the four interventions as perceived by the athletes. The recognition of these excellent intervention coaching practice along the various sporting pathway may supports developments in models and frameworks for sport in Nigeria and globally.
