The aim of this study was to create and to validate two scales that ascertain coaches planing and decisión making styles. Two scales were applied one for decision-making style and the other for planning styles to 334 handball coaches: 289 men and 44 women. The exploratory factorial analyses and Cronbachs alpha coefficients demonstrated that both scales had several appropriate psychometric properties (a>.70). Planning and decision-making were found to be related, as were relationships among authoritarian, democratic and permissive decision-making profiles and rigid, flexible and improvisational planning profiles, respectively
