Leadership styles are important for a coach applied to their athletes. To form a team who are diversified in terms of background, lifestyle and age needed a huge responsibility to achieve a common goal. Coach has expertise, experiences, and knowledge and is capable of managing all those differences. From the perspective of an athlete, they want to fulfill their satisfaction toward performance and results. Without cooperation from the coach and discipline from the athletes the goal is far from to be achieved. The researchers tend to look at coach leadership style and athlete’s satisfaction at UiTM Seremban. The sample of 254 university students who voluntarily participated in this study. For data collection, a questionnaire with Likert scale is used for coaching leadership style and athlete satisfaction. Having an autocratic leadership style are not bad as thought, on top of that, it contributes to having good discipline and leads to athlete satisfaction.
