Background and Purpose: Understanding the dynamics between competitive anxiety and coaching styles is crucial in optimizing adolescent soccer players' performance and well-being. This study aimed to explore the association between competitive anxiety levels and coaching styles among adolescent soccer players.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 76 adolescent soccer players aged 16-18 from Shemiranat, Tehran, Iran. Participants completed the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (Martens et al., 1990) to measure their competitive anxiety levels and the Coaching Behavior Assessment System (Smith et al., 1977) to assess the coaching styles adopted by their coaches.
Results: Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between coaching styles and competitive anxiety levels among adolescent soccer players (p < 0.05). Specifically, players who reported higher levels of competitive anxiety tended to perceive their coaches as exhibiting more controlling and less supportive coaching behaviors.
Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of adopting supportive coaching styles in youth soccer programs to mitigate competitive anxiety levels among adolescent players, ultimately enhancing their performance and well-being.
