A cross-sectional study carried outwith 115 (49.6% women and 50.4% men; 17.96±2.85 years old; 8.18±4.67 years of experience), soccer (53.9%), andhandball (46.1%) players, all members of performance teams. The player’s perception of coach competency, authenticleadership, justice, and satisfaction with the coach was measured. Correlation between variables and comparisonthroughout gender, sport, and experience were analyzed. Also, a multiple sequential mediation model was tested(coach competence → authentic leadership → coach justice → satisfaction with the coach, 95% CI 10,000 bootstrapping).There was a significant relationship (p < 0.05) between all the variables, differences in the perception of satisfaction withthe coach based on sport, and the perception of coach justice related to the years of experience in the sport. The multiplesequential mediation model (ɖ21=0.468; p < 0.001; IE=0.098; CI =0.020; 0.183), and the total indirect effect (IE=0.310; CI =0.138; 0.479) were significant. In conclusion, the results suggest that athletes emphasize that if the coachis competent and promotes justice to achieve the athlete’s satisfaction without neglecting the influence of their authenticleadership style, this can strengthen their relationship and satisfaction with the coach.
