Analysis of responses from 418 respondents from southern USA (198 African-American, 220 Euro-American adults) in 53 different locations at 4 colleges and universities showed that African-American and Euro-American high school and college athletes differed significantly in agreement on 4 of 12 statements representing their treatment by coaches. African-American athletes rated their coaches significantly more negatively on these items. This study has implications for the planning, design, and evaluation of coaching behaviors for African-American athletes.
