Abstract :The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between individual values and the evaluation of trainer behavior and to reveal the results by examining the possible relationship between them with different variables. In line with this purpose, a total of 267 national athletes, 147 men (%55,1), (age=21,44±4,78), and 120 women (%44,9), (age=19,72±2,70), who continue their sports life in different Olympic branches (Athletics, boxing, hockey, taekwondo, volleyball and wrestling), participated voluntarily in the study. In the evaluations of the coaching behaviors of the athletes, considerable differences were found in the physical training and planning and positive coaching behavior sub-dimensions, and it was seen that the mean scores of male athletes were higher than female athletes. When the evaluations of the individual interpretations of the athletes were examined, significant differences were discovered in the sub-dimensions of discipline and responsibility, trust and forgiveness, respect, and honesty, and it was seen that male athletes gave more substantiality to these values than female athletes. It was stated that there were substantive differences in the sub-dimensions of discipline and responsibility, respect and integrity, and it was noticed that the individual values of the athletes who worked with a trainer for 9 or more years were higher than the athletes who worked for 7 and 8 years. Consequently, the reflected behaviors of the coaches in the sports environment can affect the values and behaviors of the athletes. In consequence of this situation, there is concern that there is a relationship between the attitudes of trainers and the value perceptions of the athletes.
