Abstract:

This study investigated the interplay between coach-athlete relationships, self-esteem, and satisfaction with life among football players. A sample of 130 participants completed questionnaires assessing self-esteem, life satisfaction, and coach-athlete relationships. The instruments used for data collection included the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Data were gathered through online questionnaires and analyzed using statistical methods such as t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation, with SPSS Version 25 for analysis. The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between self-esteem and satisfaction with life, indicating that higher self-esteem is associated with greater life satisfaction. Additionally, self-esteem showed a significant positive correlation with coach-athlete relationships, suggesting that players with higher self-esteem tend to have better relationships with their coaches. However, no significant correlation was found between satisfaction with life and coach-athlete relationships. Furthermore, the study found no significant differences in the study variables based on years of experience or years of experience with a coach, except for satisfaction with life, which varied with years of experience.
