    abstract = "Purpose: The current study examined the factorial structure and evaluated the construct validity and reliability of the Greek version of the Coaching Issues Survey (GrCIS) in two samples of Greek team sports coaches. Method: Data were collected via an online survey. Participants assessed their perceived stress on 20 coaching issues. The initial sample of the 244 coaches (gender: 80.7% men and 19.3% women, age: M = 45.8, SD = 7.1 years) was randomly split into two equal samples in order to perform exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The statistical conclusion validity of the factor solution was assessed through the evaluation of the convergent and discriminant validity of the GrCIS based on parameters estimates of the measurement model. Reliability of the scale was measured through Cronbach’s a coefficient. Results: Using the maximum likelihood estimator and the oblique rotation of the axes, four factors were extracted that altogether concerned in 19 coaching issues: conflicts (five issues), time constraints (four issues), financial difficulties (three issues) and pressure to win (seven issues). Using the robust estimator of maximum likelihood mean adjusted chi square test statistic, the GrCIS four-factor model exhibited an acceptable fit to the sample data. The statistical conclusion validity was verified and the reliability of the factors was excellent. Common method variance did not seem to be a concern to the data. Conclusion: GrCIS demonstrated evidence for being a valid and reliable instrument for assessing team sports coaches stress level at 19 different coaching issues. Its use in the Greek research practice can be justified. © JPES.",
