Abstract
Determining the appropriate behavior of college coaches has increasingly surfaced as amass media topic in the world of college sports. Ideally college coaches should be teachers and mentors that instill character development, motivation, teamwork, loyalty, and tenacity in student-athletes. The popularity of college sports and the large revenue streams coming to the colleges from sport teams based upon success has altered the player-coach dynamic. The win or lose your coaching job atmosphere has resulted in a change in the coach-player relationship and student-athletes are being mandated to year round training, and some are even being subjected to inappropriate physical and verbal abuse. This article explores how to more efficiently address coaching behavior to better protect student-athletes and coaches.
