Text of Note

Given the importance self-efficacy in the areas of exercise, it is essential to identify factors that affect it. One of the factors that have significant impact on the nature and quality of the sport experience, especially in the adolcents and youth level, is coaching. So, the purpose of this study was to study the possible correlation between leadership styles of coaches of East Azerbaijan and elite wrestlers' self-efficacy. The subjects of the study were 93 athletes who had at least one championship title in east Azarbaijan satet and participate in the matches right now (22.733.55 year old, having 7.793.93 year of werestling experience) and 22 coaches who directly supervised the training of the wrestlers (35.9710.25 year old, having 6.777.95 year of coaching experience). In order to examine variables, Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire between and general self-efficacy questionnaire were distributed among coach and athletes and they asked to respond to questions with great care and patience. The data analyzed using Pearson correlation and stepwise multiple linear regression with the significant level of 0.05 under 17th version of SPSS software. Findings showed that none of transformational, pragmatic and non-intervention leadership styles of coaches or their demographic informations and wrestlers' self-efficacy were significantly correlated or could predict it (P>0.05). It seems that compared to verbal persuasion, self-efficacy sources, including the successful experiences, substitution and physiological arousal may be more important. Or because of lack of familiarity with the science of psychology and scientific management, coaches have been failing to use the appropriate leadership style to influence athletes' self-efficacy
