Moral panic in physical education and coaching
This volume focuses on sports coaching and sports teaching and how touching young sports participants has been redefined as dubious and dangerous. Coaches are constrained by a framework of regulations and guidelines which create anxiety, and many coaches now question the risks and benefits of their continuing involvement. The book includes some data from a recently completed ESRC project: ('Hands-off' sports coaching) and builds on previous ESRC research which illuminated tensions in touching behaviours between professionals and children in education and care settings. It considers the negative effects of particular understandings of risk and moral panic around touching and related behaviours where adults, children and young people interact, and makes a significant contribution to critical discussions around related practice, pedagogy, politics, and policy.

Coach-autonomy support and youth sport team efficacy mediated by coach-athlete relationship
In most previous research on the relationships between coach-autonomy support, the coach-athlete relationship, and team efficacy in team sports, the focus has been on adult players, limiting the generalizability of the findings to other age groups. Thus, we investigated
the mediating role of the coach-athlete relationship in the link between coach-autonomy support and team efficacy in a youth team sports context. Participants were 254 Korean youth athletes. Results showed that coach-autonomy support served as a crucial antecedent of the
coach-athlete relationship and team efficacy. Further, the coach-athlete relationship had a significant effect on team efficacy. We also confirmed a partial mediating effect of the coach-athlete relationship in the link between coach-autonomy support and team efficacy
in a youth team sports context. Our findings provide insight into the psychological sources of team efficacy in youth team sports.

Match or Mismatch? The Influence of Athletes’ Leadership Style Preferences on Perceived Coaching Effectiveness in Sports
This study examines how athletes’ preferred coaching leadership styles relate to and influence the coach–athlete relationship and leadership effectiveness. A total of 90 collegiate badminton players from Taiwan’s general division were recruited using purposive sampling. The researcher personally administered the implicit association test and conducted a survey questionnaire with each participant using a two-stage data collection process. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, difference analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings show that coaches who adopt a democratic leadership style positively influence the coach–athlete relationship and leadership effectiveness. Athletes who prefer democratic leadership significantly moderated the association between coaching leadership behavior and leadership effectiveness. When coaches adopted a democratic style, coaching effectiveness increased significantly. Differences between the coach’s displayed style and athletes’ preferences did not produce a significant effect on the coach–athlete relationship; however, when coaches employed an autocratic approach while athletes preferred a democratic style, athletes’ evaluations of coaching effectiveness declined significantly. Overall, collegiate badminton players generally preferred coaches who demonstrate a democratic leadership style, which helps create a harmonious training climate and fosters team cohesion. This contributes to enhancing the effectiveness of coaching leadership.

The mediating role of self-criticism in the relationship between coaches’ leadership styles and disordered eating in athletes
Background/Objectives: Athletes are particularly vulnerable to developing eating disorders, which can negatively impact both health and athletic performance. The coach–athlete relationship plays a central role in athletes’ development and well-being. However, little is known about how coaches’ leadership styles relate to athletes’ self-criticism and disordered eating. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the relationship between athletes’ perceptions of their coach’s leadership style and their own self-criticism and disordered eating. Methods: A total of 150 athletes from team ball sports, aged 18 to 43 years (M = 25.0, SD = 6.0), completed self-report measures. Results: 27.3% of the participants were at heightened risk of developing eating disorders, and 38.7% lacked access to nutritional or psychological support within their clubs. Significant positive associations were found between coaches’ negative feedback style and athletes’ self-criticism and disordered eating, and between passive management style and athletes’ self-criticism and disordered eating. Moreover, athletes’ self-criticism fully mediated the relationship between these leadership styles and athletes’ disordered eating. Additionally, coaches’ vision, inspiration, and individualization styles were related to decreased self-criticism in athletes. Conclusions: Coaches’ leadership styles are significantly related to athletes’ psychological and nutritional health. This research has important implications for promoting healthier practices in sports settings.

Characteristics of Athletic Trainers that Influence Personal Subjectivity in Medical Disqualification From Sport Following Concussion Discussions
Context:Patients may be considering stopping sport participation due to concussions with limited evidence to guide this decision. Athletic trainers (ATs) may play a role in discussions about medical disqualification (MDQ), however their personal subjectivity may influence when to discuss MDQ following concussion, however this has not been examined.Objective:Determine if AT personal subjectivity for MDQ following concussion differed between gender, years of experience, or division.Design:Cross-sectional study.Setting:Online surveyPatients Or Other Participants:Five hundred and two AT participants (average age=35.3±10.8 years; females=235/502, 46.8%; males=175/502, 34.9%, prefer not to respond=4/502, 0.8%; and no response=88/502, 17.5%).Main Outcome Measures:Gender, years of experience, and division were independent variables, whereas social factors (three items), perceived athlete's potential for success (five items), and number of concussions sustained before MDQ is recommended (one item) were dependent variables. We calculated separate Mann-Whitney U's for gender with Kruskal Wallis tests for employment division and each individual item. We calculated Spearman' rho correlations to determine relationships between years of experience and items. We utilized a Bonferroni correction of 0.006 for multiple comparisons.Results:We observed few differences in personal subjectivity between gender, years of experience, and division. When we observed differences between genders and employment divisions, ATs perceived that factors would have no or less influence. ATs with more experience erceived that fewer number of concussions should be sustained before MDQ following concussion would be recommended (p<0.001).ConclusionThe personal subjectivity of ATs in our sample largely did not differ between genders, years of experience, or employment division. These results indicate that ATs are likely considering the patient holistically and with other factors to determine when sport participation is no longer recommended.

“I Don’t Believe Any Qualifications Are Required”: Exploring Global Stakeholders’ Perspectives Towards the Developmental Experiences of Esports Coaches
Esports is a global industry, with coaches widely regarded as having a pivotal role in facilitating player development and enhancing performance. Despite this, limited research has investigated the developmental experiences of esports coaches and how they are valued by diverse stakeholder groups. Consequently, the aim of this research is to explore global stakeholders’ perspectives towards the developmental experiences of esports coaches. Data were collected via a qualitative online survey completed by 98 participants, representing 28 nationalities, across six esports stakeholder groups (head coach, assistant coach, player, team manager, performance staff, analyst). Following a reflexive thematic analysis process, three themes were generated: (1) Speaking the same language: the importance of playing and knowing the game; (2) Walking the walk: the need for coaching experience to demonstrate competency; and (3) Formal professional learning and development: a bone of contention. By understanding how diverse stakeholders value different developmental experiences, the findings offer unique insights into the contested nature of coach development in esports. This research contributes to the esports coaching literature and provides a foundation for future empirical research into this emerging area, with recommendations and implications for esports coach education and practice discussed.

Coach–Athlete Attachment and the Subjective Well-Being of Athletes: A Multiple-Mediation Model Analysis
The current study aims to explore how coach–athlete attachment affects the subjective well-being (SWB) of athletes and is primarily focused on the confirmation of the mediating roles of athletes’ perceived coach support and self-esteem in the relationship between them. A total of 179 Chinese athletes participated in this study, in which they responded to questions comprising a coach–athlete attachment scale, a perceived coach support measurement, the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, and SWB measures. The results suggest that both attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance significantly predict SWB in athletes. The effects of attachment anxiety on SWB are partially mediated by perceived coach support and self-esteem, and the effects of attachment avoidance on SWB are completely mediated by perceived coach support and self-esteem. Moreover, a chain mediating effect was found: coach–athlete attachment → perceived coach support → self-esteem → SWB. These findings extend the conclusions of prior reports and shed light on how coach–athlete attachment influences the athlete’s well-being.
