Abstract
In the sport environment, the opinion that the leadership style of the coach plays an essential role in achieving team success is accpeted (Amorose & Horn, 2001). Scott Martin and Kelly Barnes in 1999 created Coaching Behavior Assessment Questionnaire (CBAQ).
The purpose of this pilot study was to translate and evaluate the structure of CBAQ by method of structural equation modelling for population of children in age 10 - 16. After analyzing the data we established a modified 5 factor structure of CBAQ.
This 5 factor model with restricted numbers of items gave the best values of fit of the model. Conclusion from this study is that our suggested 5 factor version with 15 items could made basis for future full standardized Czech version of CBAQ.
