Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study seeks to examine the experiences and philosophy towards violence and disciplinary practices between Japanese and American coaches. According to a questionnaire survey of n=311 basketball coaches of Japan’s high school system, the number of coaches who committed violence reduced from 22.1% in 2012 to 5.5% since 2013. However, while the amount of ‘physical’ violence, such as ‘slapping’ and ‘hitting by fist’, decreased since 2013, some coaches admitted to using violent language and punishing players through by, for example, forcing them to run for more than 30 minutes. However, as a result of interviewing research with eight American coaches, another key finding is that while Japanese coaches tend to highlight errors in technique, American coaches have positive attitudes towards players.
