CODIFYING A MEASURE OF COMMUNICATION SKILLS AMONG BOXING COACHES IN THE NATIONAL BOXING SPORTS FEDERATION

Abstract

The research aimed at recognizing the reality of communication skills among boxing coaches in the National Boxing Sports Federation. The problem stems from the essence of communication skills for the coach which should be integrated with physical, skill and psychological preparation but unfortunately it was overlooked by those responsible for the training process, despite its importance. The researchers used a descriptive survey method as their approach where the population of the study consisted of (50) trainers working in the federation, and an exploratory sample was selected including (10) trainers while a preparatory sample for scale standardization was (40) trainers. Two scientific bases were used during the study: honesty and consistency. It was concluded that a coach can control his emotions during competitions— hence researchers recommended that special training programs must be designed by coaches to develop communication skills for players in turn
