Abstract

This study examines the relationship between coaching behavior styles and athletes' sports satisfaction in UAAP Schools in Manila, using data from 170 athletes aged 18-25. Employing a descriptive correlational research design, it utilized the adopted questionnaire from the previous studies. Findings revealed that coaching style is connected to the sports satisfaction, with a balance between authoritarian and democratic methods being crucial. Athletes reported high satisfaction with competence, autonomy, and relatedness, particularly valuing social support and positive training environments. However, areas for improvement were noted, especially in adapting coaching methods to different sports and athlete demographics. The study recommends the need for well-rounded coaching approaches.
