Increasing attention is being directed toward the coach–athlete relationship due to its profound association with athletes’physical and mental well-being and athletic performance. This study aimed to explore collegiate Division I table tennis players’subjective perceptions of their relationships with coaches and coaching disciplinary behaviors during youth, while evaluating the perceived impacts of these experiences on athletes’well-being and performance. A total of 30 collegiate Division I table tennis players participated in this study. Data were collected through semi-structured open-ended questionnaire and analyzed using categorization and coding procedures. Five major themes emerged: the coach–athlete relationship, coaching disciplinary behaviors, coaching training methods, training and corporal punishment, and the positive and negative impacts of coaching behaviors. The findings indicated that positive coach–athlete relationships and appropriate disciplinary practices contribute to athletes’well-being and enhanced athletic performance. These results underscore the critical importance of healthy coach-athlete interactions in fostering both competitive excellence and the holistic development of athletes. |
