Player-Coach Compatibility: A Study Of The Relationship Of Interpersonal Relations Orientations To Athletic Exclusion In Junior High School Baseball Programs, Dean A. Pease

Health, Exercise, and Sports Sciences ETDs

Statement of Problem: Many students are excluded from parti­cipation in school athletic programs, and thus, from an oppor­tunity to benefit from the educational experiences afforded. While playing ability would appear to be the most logical and common-sense criterion for the exclusion of certain stu­dents, a variety of psycho-social factors may also serve as important criteria upon which the exclusion and inclusion of athletes are based. To obtain information concerning the existence of such factors, an investigation was undertaken concerning player-coach compatibility and its role in cutting students from athletic squads.
