The leadership style of a coach in competitive sports plays a significant role in influencing an athlete's mental health, emotional well-being, and long-term success. Unfortunately, the repeated instances of coach misconduct have led to a crisis of trust among athletes and posed significant challenges to the management of sports teams. As a result, the ethical conduct of coaches has become a central topic of discussion in the field of competitive sports.
