Abstract
Athletic scholarships were examined to determine if coaches' behavior have an effect on athletic burnout. Furthermore, perceived stress was added to observe to be a factor in this occurrence for athletes on an athletic scholarship. Six hundred and twenty-five Division I collegiate athletes participated in the study and were then grouped by scholarship status (full scholarship, partial scholarship, and no scholarship). A hierarchy multiple regression was used for analysis first to analyze if coaching behavior lead to higher levels of burnout depending on scholarship status and then perceived stress was added to determine if it mediates the relationship. Results determined that coaches' behavior and scholarship status were related to an increase in athletic burnout. Athletes with a full scholarship status showed higher levels of athletic burnout than its counterparts. Furthermore, adding perceived stress to the model enhanced the ability to predict levels of athletic burnout. Together, these findings suggest that athletes with an athletic scholarship show higher levels of athletic burnout when coaching behaviors are negatively perceived.
