^∗Pearson correlations, significant values for p < 0.05. Upper triangle (Correlation coefficients for coaches) – Lower triangle (Correlation coefficients for athletes). CART (1. Closeness; 2.Commitment; 3. Complementarity); BPN (4. Competence; 5. Autonomy; 6. Relatedness); ST (7. Training-instruction; 8. Individual performance; 9. Personal treatment). CAR: coach-athlete relationship subscales; BPN: Basic Psychological needs subscale. Source: the authors. Bold values correspond to statistically significant correlations between variables.
