It was revealed the value of r = 0.580 and sig. = 0.001 < 0.05. It means that there was a significant correlation between coach’s leadership, coach-athlete interaction, and athletes’ mental strengths. With the R square value of 0.336, it could be interpreted that coach’s leadership and coach-athlete interaction contributed to the athletes’ mental strength as much as 33.6%.
