Abstract


This research explored the connection between coaching styles and athletes' sports satisfaction among 170 student-athletes aged 18-25 from UAAP schools in Manila. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational design and an adapted questionnaire from previous studies, the findings highlighted a significant relationship between coaching approaches and sports satisfaction. A balanced combination of authoritarian and democratic coaching styles emerged as pivotal in fostering high levels of athlete satisfaction across competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Social support and positive training environments were particularly valued by the athletes. Despite these positive outcomes, the study identified the need for tailored coaching strategies to address the unique demands of various sports and athlete profiles. Recommendations emphasize the importance of adopting versatile and holistic coaching practices to enhance athletic experiences further.
