Coaching Style Preferences and Attitude of Student Athletes

Abstract This study examined the influence of coaching style preferences on the attitudes of student athletes officially recognized under the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Naga City for the school year 2025–2026. Specifically, it identified the coaching style preferences along autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire dimensions; measure athlete attitudes in terms of value for purpose and meaning, feedback-driven orientation, tech-savviness and visual learning, mental health awareness, and desire for autonomy and inclusion; assess the significant relationship between coaching styles and athlete attitudes; determine the extent of influence of coaching styles on athlete attitudes; and develop an LGU-sponsored training program to enhance coaching practices. The 185 respondents were selected through purposive sampling, and a descriptive-correlational research design was employed. Data analysis utilized Weighted Mean, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (r), and Coefficient of Determination (r²). Athletes prefer democratic coaching, moderately accept autocratic coaching, and reject laissez-faire coaching; they prioritize purpose and feedback, moderately value autonomy and mental health awareness, and place less emphasis on tech-savvy learning. Democratic coaching strongly aligns with athletes' needs; autocratic coaching fosters autonomy and adaptability; and laissez-faire coaching supports feedback responsiveness and psychological well-being. An LGU-sponsored program was developed to enhance coaching effectiveness and athlete development.
Keywords Democratic coaching, student-athlete attitudes, descriptive-correlational design, LGU training program.
