Abstract

Reciprocal interactions between the motivation
of athletes and behaviors of the coaches can be affected by the age and sexual
development of athletes. This study aimed to evaluate the interaction between
sports motivation of adolescents football players and the perception of
coaches’ behaviors. Registered Turkish Football Association infrastructure male
football players aged ‎10-19 years were enrolled. And for this survey study,
The Sports Motivational Questionnaire (adolescent form) and Leadership for
Sports Scale (LSS) were used for data collection. The age of commencing amateur
football and the position of the athlete on the football field had no
significant effect on the understanding of coach behaviors. However, the
chronologic age, stage of adolescence, and sexual development had effects on
sports motivation and perception of coach behaviors. Sports motivation of
adolescents was getting higher in the early and middle adolescent stages and
reducing through the later stages. Also, as the age and Tanner stage of the
football players increased, the perceptions of the coaches concerning
educational attainment, democratic behavior, social support, and positive
feedback behavior was decreasing. Early and middle ‎adolescent stages are more
critical periods of increasing adolescent male football players’ sports
‎motivation for achieving a persisting effect on the lifelong sportive healthy
life style.

Genç Erkek Futbolcularda Koçluk Davranışlarının Algılanmasında Spor Motivasyonu ve Biyolojik Maturite

Abstract

Sporcuların motivasyonu ile antrenörlerin
davranışları arasındaki karşılıklı etkileşimler sporcuların yaşı ve cinsel
gelişiminden etkilenebilir. Bu çalışmada, ergen futbolcuların spor motivasyonu
ile antrenörlerin davranışları arasındaki etkileşimin değerlendirilmesi
amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye Futbol Federasyonuna kayıtlı 10-19yaş, erkek futbolcular
değerlendirildi. Spor Motivayon Anketi (SMA)(ergen formu) ve Spor İçin Liderlik
Ölçeği (SLÖ) ile veri toplanmıştır. Amatör futbol oynamaya başlama yaşı ve
sporcunun sahadaki oyun pozisyonu; antrenör davranışlarının algılanması
üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip değildi. Ancak; kronolojik yaş, ergenlik
dönemi ve cinsel gelişim evresi  spor
motivasyonu ve antrenör davranışlarının algılanması üzerinde etkili
bulunmuştur. Ergenlerin spor motivasyonu erken ve orta ergenlik dönemlerinde
artmakta, geç ergenlik döneminde azalmakta idi. Ayrıca, futbolcuların yaşları
ve Tanner cinsel gelişim evresi ilerledikçe antrenörlerinin demokratik
davranış, sosyal destek ve olumlu geribildirim gibi eğitim davranışlarına
ilişkin algılarının azaldığı görüldü. Erken ve orta ergenlik dönemleri, ergen
futbolcuların yaşam boyu sportif hayatlarında kalıcı bir etki elde etmek için
spor motivasyonlarını arttırmanın kritik dönemlerdir.
