WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Coach–Athlete Scale Test

sport trainer

This brief self-report measure is used to characterize athletes’ perceptions of their relationship with a coach. The Coach–Athlete Scale is intended to support a rapid, structured appraisal of interpersonal and working aspects of the coach–athlete relationship.

The measure includes 24 items and typically takes about 5 minutes to complete. Item content reflects common relational domains (e.g., perceived trust, support, motivation, and day-to-day collaboration), yielding data that can inform clinical or applied sport psychology case formulation and consultation.

The Coach–Athlete Scale may be used to identify areas of relative strength and strain in coach–athlete interactions and to guide targeted intervention planning (e.g., communication strategies or leadership approach). It is commonly cited in the sport psychology literature (e.g., Albert V. Carron; Sophia Jowett).
