Summary/Abstract: Sport plays an important role in shaping the personality of children and youth. The basic values of sport include: justice, respect, honesty and friendship for the opponent, word culture, composure, discipline, duty, perseverance, respect for the fair play principle, etc. In order for such values to be passed on to young players, the work of the coach is important ‒ his / her competences, both specialist and psychological and pedagogical, as well as personality traits. This paper attempts to indicate (as part of a pilot study) the educational role of sport on the example of the opinions and statements of four amateur boxers and two coaches from Łódź and Ozorków. The research, conducted at the turn of 2021 and 2022, used the diagnostic survey method with the interview technique and two tools – interview questionnaires addressed to boxing players and coaches. Based on the collected research material, it can be concluded that the trainer in the training process can play a very important educational role. For them, a trainer is an inspiring, motivating, helpful, educating and, above all, friendly person. By the surveyed players, the coach was identified as a member of the family. The trainers themselves were aware that they played a very important role in the lives of their charges, which may mean that when planning the training process, they did not forget about its educational impact.
