The purpose of this study was to examine an improved model of sports coach commitment for teachers of athletic club activities by investigating the relationships between sports coach commitment, sport coach identity, and social support of workers. The participants were 189 middle school and high school teachers who coached sports for athletic club activities (male: 155, female: 34). They completed questionnaires (Sports Coach (Teacher) Commitment Scale, Sports Coach (Teacher) Identity Scale, Brief Scale of Social Support for Workers). In examining the relationships between sports coach commitment, sports coach identity, social support of workers by correlation analysis, it was found that there was significant correlation among all factors. Moreover, the results of path analysis showed that the hypothesized model demonstrated goodness of fit and validity of the original improved model of sports coach commitment. The results of this study indicated that the emotional support in social support of workers influences sports coach identity formation, and teachers of extracurricular sports activities forming sports coach identity have a high sports coach commitment.
