The attitude of the coaches toward the athletes can be an essential factor affecting the performance of the athletes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the validity and reliability of the "Development and initial validation of athletes' perceptions of coach-related critical attitudes scale" by adapting it to Turkish. The study's sample group consisted of a total of 183 athletes competing in individual and team sports. Statistical analyzes of the study were carried out in two stages validity and reliability. Scale validity was evaluated according to the following analyzes; (i) analysis of normality, (ii) language validity, (iii) confirmatory factor analysis of study validity, and (iv) analysis of divergent and convergent validity. The reliability of the scale was examined by (i) item analysis, (ii) CR, (iii) Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient, and (iv) inter-item correlation analysis. As a result of the language validity processes of the study, a statistically significant positive correlation was determined between Turkish and the original language (English) (p= ,87). Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated a good agreement in terms of validity Confirmatory factor analysis results, cmin/df =2.591, RMSEA=80, GFI,959, TLI=.946, IFI=.972 CFI=.972was found as. The values obtained as a result of divergent and convergent validity analyzes showed that the scale was suitable in terms of validity (Ave=0,57; √Ave= 0,75; Msv= 0,51; Asv= 0,24). The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient and CR values of the study expressed high reliability (Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient=,874; CR=,90). Similarly, item analysis and item-total correlation analyses indicated that this study was reliable (Lower limit= ,46; Upper limit= ,78). Statistically significant differences were found between the lower and upper groups (p<0.05). As a result, it was understood that the scale was adapted to Turkish as valid and reliable. Through this scale, field experts and practitioners can evaluate athletes' attitudes toward their coaches as valid and reliable.
