Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study was first, to examine the relationships between perceived coaching behaviors and their sport commitment level; second, to explore the association between an athlete’s level of intrinsic motivation and their sport commitment; third, to investigate whether an athlete’s level of intrinsic motivation would be a stronger predictor of their sport commitment, compared to perceived coaching behaviors; and fourth, to find out whether an athlete’s scholarship status would be a determinant of their sport commitment level. One hundred sixty-one Division I collegiate tennis players completed questionnaires of the Revised Leadership Scale for Sport (RLSS), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), and Sport Commitment Model Scale (SCMS). The results indicated that both perceived coaching behaviors, as well as an athlete’s level of intrinsic motivation, were determinants of their sport commitment level. However, the findings did not confirm that an athlete’s level of intrinsic motivation had a stronger influence on their sport commitment, than perceived coaching behaviors. In addition, the amount of scholarship provided to athletes positively contributed to their sport commitment. Based on the results, this study also discussed practical implications as well as provided directions for future research.
