dc.description.abstractThe 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.
