Coaching unified sports: associations between perceived athlete improvement, barriers, and coach attitudes across five European countries by Maciej Wilski, Piotr Urbański, Roxana Ossian, Gabriela Papp Eniko, Nina Bracanovic Milovic, Ivan Radovic, Veronica Sedlackova, Eva Gazova, Nadira Sabanovic, Kada Delic Selimovic, Velibor Srdic, Srboljub Vukovic, Damir Ahmic, Vaiva Abramaviciute, Daiva Dabriliene, Ausra Kriskovieciene, Anna Nadolska

These insights point to the importance of designing coach education and support programs that not only promote technical competence but also address emotional resilience and contextual demands. …”
