Abstract
The aim of this research is to determine the arguments of commitment of sixteen basketball coaches of high performance, and establish what are the most prominent within the categories that mark the literature. To do this, there has been a qualitative research as a research technique using semi-structured interviews. According to the questions were set general themes or categories on which to place responses in which the prayers during the interviews were identified as units of meaning. The results confirm that the competition, success, social gratification provide the players themselves in particular, and society in general, causes the activity of coaching is highly valued work by our coaches. These results, among others, help us to identify some factors that encourage commitment to the coaches to keep their positions.
