Team management by the coach in case of numerical inferiority from the point of view of the Jordanian Handball League players

Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify the team coach management level in case of a numerical inferiority from the point of view of the Jordanian handball league players. The descriptive approach was used and the study sample consisted of 90 players participating in the Jordan Handball League (2020/2021). The coach management evaluation scale for suspensions was used as a tool for data collection, and the Statistical Program for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis. The results of the study showed that the level of the team coach management in case of numerical inferiority, from the point of view of first-class club players in Jordan, was low. There were no statistically significant differences (p>0.05) in the estimates of the study sample members of the team’s coach management level in the case of numerical inferiority from the point of view of first-class club players in Jordan according to the study variables (court line and years of experience). There was also no statistically significant relationship (p>0.05) between the coach management level of the team in the case of numerical inferiority from the point of view of the first-class clubs’ players in Jordan and the level of achievement (league ranking). We recommend conducting a study to identify the reasons of the poor level of Jordanian teams’ coach management in case of numerical inferiority and conducting training courses for Jordanian coaches focusing on team management in case of numerical inferiority.
