the influence on an athlete's moral-ethical image is beyond the boundaries of the training process.

Controlling the training process a coach solves different objectives and influences different organs and systems of an athlete's organism with the help of physical exercises, taking into account his age related and physiological characteristics

The founder of scientific pedagogics in Russia K.D. Ushinski said that each teacher is a psychologist first of all. Coaches are involved into the upbringing process. They define athletes' psychic characteristics and peculiarities, which in the future condition norms of behavior and moral principles mastering, adopted in the society. A coach, analyzing individual features of these qualities and peculiarities, provides correct psychological attitude creation to outer factors, which influence personality formation. Apart from moral, motor and intellectual model coaches create the model of an athlete's personality in general. High level of psychological training and moral upbringing can provide easier adaptation in social environment after sports career end. Self-control in difficult situations of competitive activity, steadiness of behavior is the model, which a coach compares individual qualities of his students with, when he is searching for the ways of their improvement. Life position, its demonstrations are conditioned by many criteria, such as sports motivation, social opinion and interests, civic point of view, self-criticism, adherence to principles, discipline, psychological compatibility and empathy. In order to create an optimal psychological approach to an athlete it is necessary to have the ability to diagnose mentioned above characteristics.
Psychological-pedagogical problems
solution during the work of a coach determines sportsmanship improvement and an athlete's personality change, his attitude to environment. A coach solves functional objectives, connected with choosing instruments of psychological-pedagogical influence on an athlete's consciousness. They at the level of higher sportsmanship are the main factors of success at the competitions. Thus, we can say that an athlete's personality is formed through social-psychological interaction with a coach.
The main thing in this pedagogical process is readiness of a coach to sacrifice success, if it can do any harm to athletes' health or psychological state. Unfortunately, sport of high achievements has its own laws and they are projected on young and younger athletes.
Such an approach levels the significance of morality, sports ethics and is based on the future material benefits getting. Commercial success takes the first place. A traditional sports psychology is based on moral improvement of a personality. Where the effectiveness of coach-student system is conditioned by the attitude of an athlete to his coach. A coach should not only listen, but also hear his athlete, as the whole activity is based on psychological phenomenon - mutual understanding. It is possible to have personal relations on the basis of sympathy or antipathy, general interest, hobby and etc.. Relations appear spontaneously and can change during mutual activity. Conflicts can appear and have negative influence on the whole training process. Knowing sports psychology helps a coach to control conflicts, reveal their reasons (load, training means, methods of influence, psychological component and others). Mastery of a coach is conditioned by his ability to control conflict situation and sometimes deliberately provoke it in order to

The respondents mention that psychological-pedagogical knowledge increases the level of social responsibility of a coach.
A.S. Makarenko wrote that a person formation as a personality is characterized by higher spheres of his psyche development. They are the following: thinking, will and feelings. Professional creative potential of a coach is developed during the whole labor activity, taking into account the mistakes and positive experience. A coach, who has creative thinking, understands and can predict the consequences of the fulfilled work and is ready to be responsible for it. Such kind of awareness means professional values and aims existence. A coach plays one of the main roles in the training process. Using psychological-pedagogical knowledge and transferring it to his athletes, a coach forms an athletes' personality. As coach-student system is considered a single entity an athlete should also possess high social responsibility.
