1. Introduction The most important successful factor of a coach is to help athletes to improve their athletic skill in a wide range of tasks from sequential development and mastery of basic skills, to the more specialized physical, technical, tactical and psychological preparation. Chelladurai (1978), effective coaching behavior varies across specific contexts as the characteristics of athletes and the prescribed situation change. The context of the sport situation and characteristics of the coach and the athletes themselves dictate appropriate leadership behavior. To achieve improvement in athletic performance, it may be necessary for the coach to engage in coaching behaviors to which there athlete is receptive. The previous research used in studying sport leadership (Fielder, 1977; Hersey & Blanchard, 1977; House, 1971; Osborne & Hunt, 1975), Chelladurai (1979, 1990) has suggested that a multidimensional model provides explanation to coaching behavior. Three different components of coaching behavior as: 1) actual leader behavior, 2) required leader behavior and 3) leader behavior prefer. Smith, Kendall and Hulin (1969), coaches and administrators need to be concerned with making the athlete’s experiences enjoyable and satisfying. The measurement of athlete satisfaction is an important precursor to the establishment of a general theory that may then serve as the foundation for practical action and future research. 2-Methodology deilppa na sihT and descriptive – noitalerroc research.
