Abstract This study investigates the effect of coach-athlete relationship on the stress and mindfulness among athletes. Employing a quantitative research design, data was gathered from 129 participants aged between 18-35 years through online surveys. Measures included the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The findings revealed a significant positive correlation between coach-athlete relationship and mindfulness, a significant negative correlation between stress and mindfulness and no significant correlation between stress and mindfulness although a weak negative correlation was found. These findings suggest that as the quality of the coach-athlete relationship improves, the mindfulness of athletes tend to increase and as the mindfulness increases, stress levels tend to decrease and vice versa. Although the correlation was not significant between coach-athlete relationship and stress, a notable finding demonstrates that supportive and healthy social environments can help reduce stress levels. This study highlights the significance and importance of a coach-athlete relationship in the lives of athletes to manage stress levels and enhance mindfulness.
