“…Moreover, it is the desire and wants of every sports coach to have their trained athletes possess strong MT to be successful and become winners in any athletic events they may engage in; the reason why sports coaches utilize variegated leaders' behaviors in boosting athletes' skills and MT. Sports coaches may become strict with their practices, sensitive to their needs, or have father-modeled behavior since a mentally tough coach will be sensitive (Clough, 2022) and influential in determining sports success (Strycharczyk, 2022). Jowett and Arthur (2019) asserted that coaches' leadership characteristics help players perform better and be satisfied.…”

The study aimed to determine the mediating effect of sport orientation on the relationship between the leadership behavior of sports’ coaches and the mental toughness of athletes among Special Program in Sports students in one of the public secondary schools in Malita, Province of Davao Occidental, Region XI using quantitative non-experimental descriptive- correlational research design. Results revealed a very high level of sport coaches’ leadership behavior, a very high level of athletes’ mental toughness, and very high level of sports orientation. The leadership behavior of sports’ coaches does not significantly correlate with the mental toughness of athletes and sports orientation. Sports orientation does not significantly correlate with the mental toughness of athletes. The null hypothesis is accepted that sport orientation does not significantly mediate sport coaches’ leadership behavior and athletes’ mental toughness. More so, there is a partial mediating effect of sport orientation on the relationship between the leader behavior of sports coaches’ and athletes’ mental toughness. Other factors may affect the mental toughness leadership style and motivation of their coaches aside from sports orientation although studies show coaches are responsible for everything from mental adjustments, life counseling, and interpersonal relationships to gathering information about competitions. Furthermore, this approach might be used as a means of continuous improvement for enhancing in-service education, refining current educational programs, and conducting comprehensive assessments of educational tools and interventions.

Mental toughness is linked to attainment and progression in education, as well as wellbeing. Whether it changes across development has not been thoroughly studied. Mental toughness, and related constructs were measured in 293 participants aged between 7 and 16. Mental toughness, self-efficacy, wellbeing, positive motivation and positive engagement decreased across the age groups, but there was no significant effect of age on mental toughness when the other variables were controlled for. Mental toughness predicted wellbeing when measured alone, but not alongside the other constructs. This suggests that while interventions should be applied at a young age to prevent decreases in mental toughness from occurring, mental toughness may not be as unique as previous research has claimed.
