Abstract
The purpose of the present investigation was to examine the interrelation between stress and coaches' behavior during rest periods. Subjects were 154 German coaches who completed the Rest Period Questionnaire and a Bibliographic Questionnaire for Coaches designed to attribute stress to coaches' behavior during rest periods. Analysis indicated that coaches who are highly stressed by the practice rate themselves significantly less active and less authoritarian during rest periods than do their low stressed colleagues. In addition, coaches who are highly stressed by the competition rate themselves significantly less warm-hearted than the low stressed group.
