ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to analyse the rate and content of 10,430 messages, sent by 21 handball coaches in 21 matches, in relation to score and match phase. Three situations were defined as regards score: large victory, tight game, and large defeat; and four phases for match phase: part 1 and 2 of first half, and part 1 and 2 of second half. Message rates were calculated by dividing the number of messages sent at each level of score and match phase by the elapsed time. To calculate the content, messages were coded using Coach Analysis and Intervention System and percentages were calculated according to score and match phase. Chi-square analysis showed statistically significant differences for rate of messages by score (χ2 = 211.06, df = 2, sig < 0.001), and match phase (χ2 = 23.704, df = 3; sig < 0.001); and for percentage of content by score (χ2 = 444.011, df = 42, sig < 0.001) and match phase (χ2 = 201.706, df = 63, sig < 0.001). Results can help to establish guidelines to increase the quality of coaches’ speech.
