Model fit (No disability): R = 0.524; R²=0.275; Adj. R²=0.241; F(7,149) = 8.059; p < 0.001; Durbin–Watson = 1.325; For coaches working with non-disabled athletes, variance inflation factor (VIF) values ranged between 1.06 and 1.73, indicating no evidence of multicollinearity. Model fit (disability): R = 0.420; R²=0.176; Adj. R²=0.134; F(7,137) = 4.184; p < 0.001; Durbin–Watson = 1.330; For coaches working with athletes with disabilities, VIF values ranged between 1.03 and 1.95, also suggesting that multicollinearity was not a concern

B  unstandardized regression coefficient, SE  Standard error, β  standardized coefficient, CI  Confidence interval, Adj  Adjusted, CI Confidence interval, DW Durbin–Watson, SE Standard error. Categorical predictors were dummy-coded using the following reference categories: sex = female, relationship status = in a relationship, and income level = low income, and education = Secondary school. Coaching level (grade) was entered as an ordinal variable with categories 1–5 (higher values indicate higher coaching grade)

p values: p < 0.05 **; p < 0.001 ***
