In recent years, the sport of boxing has become a popular trend, and with the promotion of sport psychology, the leadership style of coaches plays an important role in influencing the mental aspect of athletes. Boxing is an exercise that combines intensity and relaxation, which not only improves the strength of the muscles and bones but also contributes to the mental health of people and brings them a sense of happiness. In this study, we investigated the correlation between boxing athletes’ perceived positive coaching leadership, sports enthusiasm, and happiness. In this study, 300 valid questionnaires were collected from boxing athletes and then analyzed by statistical software. The results showed that positive leadership had a significant positive effect on sports enthusiasm; sports enthusiasm had a significant positive effect on happiness, and positive leadership had a significant positive effect on happiness.In conclusion, the study has discussed the significance of sport psychology and well-being. The study is expected to contribute to the related literature and offer suggestions for future studies in sports science and management.

Table 8 shows that out of the total population of 200 pupil-respondents, most of them, 177 stated that their coach coaches influenced them to involve in physical activities [PA], while 23 (11.5%) said that their coach did not influence them, which could mean that once coach's manifest sports enthusiasm, children are likely to emulate engagement (Huang et al, 2021).…”

“…Table 18 shows that out of the total population of 200 pupil-respondents, 177 strongly agreed and agreed, with Pr=0.013, it was evident that there was a significant relationship between coach modelling and type of PA the respondents' coach engaged to, with data showing that coach modelling was related to the type of physical activities. It could mean that due to the coach' nature of work of being players' trainer, the coach had modelled the type of physical activity, that coach was actively engaged, plus the coach physique capable of performing PA, referring to Huang et al (2021) findings that coach manifest sports enthusiasm, then children were likely to emulate engagement.…”
