Abstract


This research investigated the intricate relationships among coaching competencies, sports facility utilization, commitment, and psychological well-being among high school student-athletes (n=87) in Zone 1 of Maguindanao del Sur. Utilizing reliable instruments, translated into Maguindanaon, such as the Sports Facility Utilization Questionnaire, Coaching Competency Questionnaire, Sports Commitment Questionnaire, and Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Questionnaire, the study assessed student perceptions of these variables. Descriptive statistics revealed positive views on coaching competency and sports facility utilization, while inferential analyses showed significant positive links between coaching competency and various dimensions of psychological well-being, highlighting its crucial role in nurturing athletes' mental health. Additionally, sports facility utilization predominantly impacted psychological well-being in terms of autonomy, emphasizing the importance of accessible resources. Stepwise regression further clarified the positive correlation between coaching competency and commitment, providing valuable insights for enhancing student athletes' holistic development and success in high school sports settings.
