| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the athletes芒聙聶 perception on their
coaches芒聙聶 behavior to their level of competitive anxiety and burnout as well as the relationship of
the identified moderating variables such as: athletes芒聙聶 age, gender, type of sport, level of
participation, length of playing experience, and their coaches芒聙聶 age, gender, civil status and length
of coaching experience relate to the three main variables. The study used Coaching Behavior
Questionnaire (CBQ) developed by Scott B. Martin (2003) to measure coaching behavior, while
the Sport Competitive Anxiety Test (SCAT) developed by Rainer Martens (1977) to evaluate the
athletes芒聙聶 sport competitive anxiety, and the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) modified by
Raedeke and Smith (2008) to assess the athletes芒聙聶 burnout. The respondents were the 158 college
athletes and 15 coaches from the State Universities in Region X, Philippines.
Furthermore, Chi-square and Pearson r were used in analyzing the data through the Statistical
Package for Social Science v.20. The results then show no significant relationship between
coaching behavior and the athletes芒聙聶 competitive anxiety and burnout. However, a strong positive
relationship is established between the athletes芒聙聶 length of playing experience and coaching
behavior; and between coaches芒聙聶 age and length of coaching with coaching behavior. Also, a
strong relationship is observed between the coaches芒聙聶 civil status and the athletes芒聙聶 level of
burnout. The findings suggest that coaches undergo trainings and seminar-workshops on
effective coaching to develop a more positive and efficient coaching behavior. Coaches may also
help their athletes learn to recognize anxiety and develop anxiety management skills to cope with
it during competition, thus avoiding the possibility of burnout and being able to improve
performance and coach-athlete relationship. Keywords: Coaching, competitive anxiety, burnout,
