This The role of a coach in modern sports is not only focused on developing technical skills, but also includes managing the psychological aspects of athletes, including the level of arousal that influences performance. This study aims to analyze the relationship between coach leadership style and the level of arousal in West Javanese karate athletes. The method used is descriptive correlational with a population of 32 athletes from the Karate Student Activity Unit (UKM) of the Indonesian Education University who have participated in West Java-level championships. Purposive sampling technique was used to determine the sample, while the research instruments included a Leadership Sport Scale questionnaire (38 items) and an arousal questionnaire (46 items). Data analysis was performed using SPSS 26. The results showed an average arousal score of 91.34 (SD = 14.277) and a coach leadership style score of 74.06 (SD = 31.444). The Pearson correlation test produced a value of r = 0.767 with p < 0.05, which indicates a positive and significant relationship between coach leadership style and athlete arousal levels. These findings indicate that an appropriate leadership style plays a crucial role in regulating arousal balance, which in turn can influence athletes' mental readiness and performance. This study recommends that coaches adopt an adaptive leadership style that considers athletes' psychological aspects during training and competition.
