Abstract

Coaching effectiveness is frequently evaluated through competitive outcomes, with the assumption that coaching behaviors directly influence athlete performance. This study examined the relationship between perceived coaching behaviors and individual win percentage among collegiate Taekwondo athletes using the Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted across five coaching dimensions: Training and Instruction, Democratic Behavior, Autocratic Behavior, Social Support, and Positive Feedback. Results showed that none of the coaching dimensions demonstrated a statistically significant relationship with win percentage. Although coaching behaviors did not significantly predict win percentage, the findings suggest that athlete development is shaped by factors that extend beyond performance metrics alone, particularly those related to support, trust, and athlete well-being. To further explore these priorities, Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) was employed, identifying Social Support as the highest-priority area for coaching intervention despite Training and Instruction receiving the strongest evaluation scores. To interpret this divergence, the study proposes the War and Peace Framework, which conceptualizes athlete development as a balance between performance-oriented demands such as discipline, accountability, and correction (“War”) and human-centered needs such as psychological safety, trust, encouragement, and social support (“Peace”). The framework demonstrates how quantitative athlete assessment data can be transformed into actionable coaching insights, advancing a human-centered decision-support approach that balances competitive excellence with athlete well-being.
