| description | Previous research has found that interaction processes between coach and athlete have
always been the strongest factor for sports performance. Other researches have drawn
conclusions to other factors in the coach-athlete relationship, such as culture and gender.
Research has generally shown that effective communication required the development
of trust and respect between coach and athlete (Yukelson, 1984). The review focuses on
an analysis of past literature on communication styles, culture, and gender as potential
key factors influencing the coach-athlete relationship. This review paper examined
studies specific to the empirical studies on athletes and coaches from the Western and
Asian perspectives. In particular, the review analysed empirical studies on
communication, gender and culture as potential factors influencing the coach-athlete
relationship. The review concluded that while various studies on the coach-athlete
relationship had been done, a majority of the empirical studies were within Western
perspectives. Such empirical study is particularly under-researched in Malaysia.
Therefore, the paper concludes by suggesting that future research which explores the
aspects of communication styles, culture, and gender within the Malaysian context is
timely. |
