Coaches' Perceptions Of Forki Karate Athletes In Sungai Penuh City Who Continue Their Education Outside The Region

Abstract

The problem in this study is the lack of attention and fairness from the coach to his athletes who are backgrounded by athletes who continue their education outside the region. The purpose of this study was to explain the perception of coaches towards athletes who continue their education outside the region. This type of research is qualitative. This study was conducted on karate athletes from Forki Kota Sungai Penuh who continued their education outside the region, this study was conducted at the FORKI Dojo Kota Sungai Penuh. The types of data in this study consisted of primary and secondary data. Participants in the study were 9 people with the criteria of coaches, athletes, and FORKI karate administrators. The instrument used in this study was an interview. The results showed that coaches acknowledged that continuing their education outside the region provided opportunities for athletes to develop academic abilities and skills in a sports career that supported their success in karate. However, on the other hand, coaches also face challenges related to limited training time, difficult communication, and limitations in providing optimal coaching to athletes who are far from their home area. Athlete constraints have the potential to affect the physical and technical development of athletes if not managed properly
