    The Philippines' passion for sports is deeply ingrained in its culture and is evident in its participation in major national and international sporting events. Hence, it is crucial to determine a coaching leadership style for cultivating a solid coach-athlete relationship and facilitating the growth and achievement of motivated athletes. This study generally examined the associations between coaching leadership styles, motivation, and anxiety among Filipino university student athletes at a public state university in Leyte province, the Philippines. It utilized a quantitative approach, specifically a descriptive cross-sectional survey and correlational design with 108 student-athlete respondents. Results revealed a statistically significant but weak positive association (rs=0.304, p=0.001) between coaching leadership and student-athlete motivation, suggesting that athletes who perceive their coaches as effective leaders exhibit higher motivation levels. However, no significant association was found between coaching leadership and student athletes' anxiety (rs=-0.026, p=0.793), nor between student-athletes' anxiety and motivation (rs= 0.157, p=0.106). These results emphasize the complexity of factors influencing anxiety, including performance pressure, competition intensity, or personal expectations. While no single leadership approach universally applies, a deep understanding of various coaching styles is crucial for cultivating an optimal coach-athlete relationship that enhances motivation and performance.

    This research investigated the sport experiences as predictor of pre-competitive anxiety in Brazilian dual-career athletes. Participants were 135 male (n = 120) and female (n = 15) athletes, with a mean age of 23.43 years (SD = 9.77), who competed at the following sports: indoor soccer (n = 39), handball (n = 15), volleyball (n = 24), basketball (n = 41), and table tennis (n = 16). These participants completed the University Sport Experiences Scale -Portuguese version (USES-BR) and the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R), which assess perceptions of sport experiences and pre-competitive anxiety, respectively. Data analysis was conducted through the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson's correlation, and multiple linear regression (p<0.05). The results showed that initiative presented a positive prediction on self-confidence (β = 0.34), while the domains of interpersonal relationships (β = 0.27 and β = 0.31) and social exclusion (β = 0.28 and β = 0.29) presented a positive prediction on somatic and cognitive anxiety. It was concluded that positive experiences (initiative) seem to act as a source of self-confidence, while positive (interpersonal relationships) and negative (social exclusion) experiences seem to promote cognitive and somatic anxiety
