Maximizing the Role of Coaches in Implementing Social Values in Team Sports

ntroduction: The coach is critical to the success of the training program and serves as the driving force to steer the team in the direction they want. Therefore, coaches are very vital and must understand players, program creation and also program implementation in the field. The program designed by the coach should not only prioritize and improve sports skills. Coaches must also instill values that can uphold the sportsmanship of each individual or team. Objective: This research aims to find out whether the role of coaches in implementing social values in the sport of football is a key to success and whether there is a difference in increasing social values in football athletes. Methodology: This research uses a pretest-posttest Control design. These research groups consisted of a treatment group (intentionally structuring football) and a control group (non-intentionally structuring football) with 30 people in each group and were taken using the purposive sampling method. Results: The results of this research state that the hypothesis calculation using the paired samples t-test is <0.01, indicating that there are significant results regarding the results of social values in intentionally structuring and non-intentionally structuring football athletes. Conclusion: According to this study, trainers’ role in incorporating social values into training programs is critical to the effectiveness of promoting social values. The social benefits obtained by athletes are not simply obtained naturally (naturally/automatically) but must also be programmed, implemented and evaluated by the coach.
