Starting from the self-adapting of the coaches and based on the result of interviews and the questionnaires, we design professional counseling forms and use Delphi Model to analyze the main factors which will affect the relationship between the coaches and athletes and thus work out the corresponding coordinating measures.Their relationship is in essence of a superior to subordinate relationship, a cooperative partnership, an antagonistic association, a long-term kind and a subordinate sort. There are four characteristics in the relationship between the coaches and the athletes: they are the unity of the object, the imbalance between the coaches and the athletes, the compensation/making-up through athletes'performance and the difference of the requirements.

Thirdly, the coaches should improve continuously their professional qualification and managerial methods.Last but not least, the coaches should continuously strengthen their consciousness of responsibility and always adhere to the principle of equity and democracy.
