When a coach prioritizes winning above all else, often at the expense of athletes' motivation and enjoyment, their primary coaching style is typically authoritarian or directive. This approach emphasizes strict control, discipline, and compliance, often leading to a competitive atmosphere that can diminish athletes' intrinsic motivation. Such coaches may overlook the importance of fostering a positive and engaging environment, which is crucial for long-term development and enjoyment in sports.
The coaching approach that creates the most anxiety among athletes is typically one that is overly authoritarian or critical. When coaches focus excessively on punishment, negative feedback, and high-pressure expectations, athletes may feel constant fear of failure and judgment. This can lead to increased stress, decreased confidence, and a reluctance to take risks, ultimately hindering performance and enjoyment of the sport. A more supportive and positive coaching style tends to foster greater resilience and motivation.

Olympic sports contenders are not paid for the competition. Until the 1970s, Olympic athletes had to be amateur, not paid athletes. However, some countries' athletes practiced full time; others were very limited as to who could sponsor their living and coaching expenses.
