his study aims to investigate the relationship between coach leadership style (CLS), coach-athlete relationships (CAR), athlete's burnout (AB) and athlete's engagement (AE) in team sports. The correlational method was adopted in this research. There were 93 athletes from several types of team sports were involved as participants in this research. This research used several type of instruments, included the coach leadership scale for sport (CLSS), coach–athlete relationship questionnaire (CART-Q), athlete burnout scale (ABS) and athlete engagement questionnaire (AEQ). Pearson correlation matrix was used in this research to investigate the availability of a significant relationship between each variable. Apart from that, path analysis was used to observe relationship modeling between variables. The findings showed that there was a significant relationship between each variable (p < 0.05). The structural equation modeling showed CLS had a direct influence on AB (β = 0.363, p < .001), CAR ⇒ AB (β = 0.621, p < .001), CLS ⇒ AE (β = 0.280, p = 0.001), CAR ⇒ AE (β = 0.229, p = 0.019) and AB ⇒ AE (β = 0.484, p < .001). Thus, this study highlights the important role of CLS and CAR are reducing the risk of AB symptoms and improving AE in team sports.
