Description

Xiaoying Chen and coauthors investigate a 2026 survey of how coaches lead and shape burnout among 519 college players in China, testing whether toughness and emotion control carry the effect. The team used standard scales for coaching, burnout, toughness, and control difficulties, analyzing mediation with standard statistical tools.

Positive coaching linked to lower burnout both directly and through greater toughness and easier emotion control, with indirect paths carrying 41.65 percent of the total effect. Male players showed greater toughness and control and lower burnout than female players, while age and level did not matter. Coach training that builds toughness and control skills could cut burnout, the authors suggest.
