In order to define the interpersonal relationship a sample of variables consisting of twenty statements was used. Those twenty statements were taken from A1 and A2 questionnaire (1). SPSS version 13 was used for the statistical analysis. The frequencies of answers were calculated and the correspondences between the coaches' and the players' perceptions was evaluated by means of comparing their answers in each of the given categories of statements. The intention of this paper was pointing out the possibility of getting feedback information about the players' perceptions of their coaches in order to reveal any possible misunderstandings in their personal relations and their respective points of view. This could enable both the coaches and the players to improve their communication and relationship, which could then create more favourable conditions for their cooperation and in the long run achieving better results.
