The purpose of this study was to design and develop National Coaches' Selection indicators in
Judo from experts` viewpoints carried out through a descriptive field method. The statistical
population included all managers, coaches and athletes involved in judo. A questionnaire with
an acceptable validity and reliability (?= 0.76) was distributed among the samples. The
respective samples (59 coaches and 63 athletes) responded to the questionnaire consisting of
two parts: a) Personal characteristics and b) 50 questions included 10 indicators. Descriptive
statistics and inferential statistics including Mann Whitney U Test and Friedman Test were used
to analyze the data. There were ten criteria selected for the national team coaches from of the
Delphi method. These indicators included Communicational, Psychological, Motivational,
Personality-Moral, Supportive-Feedback, Goal setting, Experimental-Technique, Efficacy,
Leadership and Management and Performance Assessment indicators. Data analysis results
showed that there were no significant differences among statistical samples regarding Coaches'
Selection indicators (p> 0.05). Also there were different priorities about Coaches' Selection
indicators in samples (p <0.05).
