Vol.17,No.1(2023)
Purpose:The study aims at identifying the relationship between grit, coach leadership style, sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction.
Methods: Correlational studies are used to see the relationship between grit, coach leadership style, sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction. Participants involved in this study are athletes in rowing (n=30). Grit, coach leadership style, sports motivation and athlete's satisfaction was assessed by Questionnaire. Nonparametric calculation through Spearman's Rank Correlation was used to test the relationship between the variables.
Results: This study showed several results. First, there was a positive relationship between grit with sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction (p<0.05). Second, there was a positive relationship between coach leadership style with sports motivation and athlete’s satisfaction (p<0.05).
Conclusions:Thus, our research highlights the importance of a trainer's girt and leadership style to create a positive relationship with sports motivation and satisfaction in athletes in carrying out training activities.
