There are many health benefits to sport participation, however, there is a large chance of experiencing injury while participating in sport. Due to the high likelihood of an athlete experiencing injury, it is necessary for athletes to feel comfortable and confident approaching their coach when injured. It is critical to know which coaching styles allow for open conversation about athletes’ health and well-being. For the purposes of this study, coaching styles can be described in two ways: need supportive and controlling. These styles fall under the selfdetermination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2002) that claims individuals have three needs to become fulfilled: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of coaching behaviors on athletes’ willingness to self-report injury. The participants of this study were collegiate NCAA Division I athletes (N=190). The results of this study showed that coaching behaviors had a significant influence on their injury reporting behaviors. Athletes who experienced controlling coaching behaviors were more likely to play through pain than athletes who experienced need supportive coaching behaviors.
