Title: Coaching Styles and Their Effects on Athlete Performance and Well-beingThis research investigates the correlation between coaching styles and the overall development of athletes, focusing on performance outcomes and psychological well-being. Utilizing a sample of athletes from team and individual sports, the study employs quantitative methods to assess the impact of authoritarian, transformational, and laissez-faire coaching styles. The results indicate that transformational coaching, characterized by encouragement and positive reinforcement, leads to higher levels of athlete satisfaction and performance. In contrast, authoritarian coaching is linked to increased stress and burnout among athletes. The study underscores the necessity for coaches to adopt more supportive and flexible coaching methods to foster a positive developmental environment for athletes.
