Abstract
Coaches are influential forces in the development of athletes' potential within favourable sports
environments. This is because coaches are ideally expected to guide athletes to achieve levels of
performance to degrees that they may not realize if they are left on their own. However, in order
for all athlete to gain from the work of his/her coach, there must be a healthy relationship between
them. The coach should cultivate a relationship that makes his/her compatible to his/her athlete.
Due to the uniqueness of each coach and athlete, such a compatible relationship call be elusive in
being realized. The question of what call be described as an 'ideal' coach-athlete relationship call
be a complex phenomenon that needs to be explored. This paper therefore, reviews information
that may guide coaches in establishing healthy relationships with their individual athletes.
