Objective: The application analysis is a new thematic language theory. The present study was conducted in the linguistic hospitalization and relying on the theory of "speech act", investigating the role of various types of speech acts in speech interactions in sports tissue between coaches and football players in Iran. For this purpose, the frequency of the said work has been investigated among Iranian football coaches and their players.Methodology: To this end, the researcher collected 40 interviews of four Iranian football coaches (C1, C2, C3 and C4) and 20 Iranian football players. Searle’s (1976) speech acts model was used to analyze the data. Five classes of Searle’s speech act model are: Commissives, Directives, Expressives, Declarative, and assertive. To ensure a higher level of quality and reliability, the same number of utterances chosen from both losing games and winning games.Results: Then, after selecting and counting all speech acts in their speech, the results obtained by statistical analysis showed that assertive, expressive and directive were respectively the most frequently used speech acts and commissive and declarative were the least used speech acts in the case of both coaches and football players.Conclusion: On the other hand, losing matches and winning matches yielded different results. Finally, the findings generally indicate that how close relations between coaches and players would be practically possible by using some speech acts given and taken between them in different contexts and situations.
