Abstract	Language plays a crucial role in the effectiveness of sports coaching, particularly in regions with strong linguistic and cultural identities. In multilingual societies, the medium of instruction used during sports coaching significantly influences athletes’ comprehension, skill acquisition, confidence, and performance. This study investigates the impact of using Urdu as a medium of sports coaching compared to English among students of the Kashmir Valley. The research examines language preference, understanding of coaching instructions, execution of skills, performance outcomes, and overall confidence levels of student-athletes. The findings reveal that sports coaching delivered in Urdu leads to clearer understanding of techniques, better on-field performance, and higher confidence among Kashmir Valley students, thereby demonstrating that Urdu is a more effective medium of sports coaching than English in this regional context.
