Coaching commitment and physical development of student-athletes from various public schools in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines

Abstract

This present study aims to determine the relationship between coaching commitment and physical development of student-athletes from various public schools in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines. Respondents on the study are student-athletes from Senior High School Public Schools from Grade 11 and 12. Descriptive statistics such as Mean and Standard Deviation were used to describe the level of coaching commitment and physical development according to categories, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the relationship between coaching commitment and physical development. The findings revealed that the level of coaching commitment is very high and the level of physical development of the respondents is highly developed. From the correlational analysis, result findings revealed that competition strategies, goal setting, physical training and condition, teamwork, technical skills, and time management were observed to have no significant relationship to caring, character, competence, confidence, and connection of the respondents. On one hand, mental preparation was observed to have a significant negative relationship on caring. Additionally, Personal Rapport/ Negative Personal Rapport were observed to have a significant positive relationship on Caring, Character and Connection.
