There are several coach-style behaviors, i.e., training/instruction, authoritarian, democracy, social support, and feedback. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the coach's leadership style and male athletes’ motivation. This research method uses a descriptive correlation research design. The samples in this study were active student members of the men's futsal student activity unit of the Indonesian Education University. The data collection technique used a random sampling technique. The instruments used were The Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS) to measure the coach's leadership style and SMS (Social Motivation Scale) to measure male athletes’ motivation. This study was analyzed using parametric statistical analysis with the Pearson correlation test. The results of the data analysis Moreover, the authority leadership style attains a sig value (ρ) of 0.006 <0.05. Hence, H0 is rejected. It is assumed that the coach's leadership style has a significant relationship with the motivation of male athletes of the Futsal Student Activity Unit of the Indonesian Education University. Meanwhile, the sig. value (ρ) of democratic leadership style is 0.031 < 0.05. Thus, H0 is rejected. It means that the democratic coach's leadership style has a significant relationship with the motivation of male athletes of the Futsal Student Activity Unit of the Indonesian Education University. Moreover, the social support leadership style indicates a sig (ρ) value of 0.033 <0.05. Hence, H0 is rejected.indicate that there is a significant relationship between the coach's leadership style and male athletes’ motivation.


INTRODUCTION
The achievement of the men's futsal student activity unit of the Indonesian Education University decreased in 2022. It indicated the reduction achievement of the year. In several championships, the men's futsal student activity unit of the Indonesian Education University needed more achievement. One of them is the competition of the Bandung League championship. The men's futsal student activity unit of the Indonesian Education University experienced a decline in achievement by accomplishing 11th place, one level above the relegation zone.
The inconsistency of athletes in training is reflected in the reduction of athlete participation and less enthusiasm of athletes in training.
Less enthusiasm decreases athletes' motivation, reflecting their feeling that they cannot perform with the expectation of maximum results (Ryan & Deci, 2000). Achievement of performance and motivation are the two crucial and valuable things in creating an achievement (Chantal & Vallerand, 1996). A person is involved in an activity due to the encouragement of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation (Ferrer-Caja & Weiss, 2000). Motivation is a specific internal condition that directs a person's behavior toward a goal (Lefton, 1982;cited in Siahaan et al., 2018). Hollembeak & Amorose (2005) argue that an athlete's motivation is related to the coach's leadership style.
Similarly, Whitehead & Corbin (1991) express that a coach's coaching affects an athlete's motivation. Moreover, a coach's behavior can influence an athlete's motivation with support and control in interacting with athletes (Mageau & Vallerand, 2003). In addition, coaches have an essential role in a team and have many teaching/learning and educational tasks supporting athletes in reaching the highest level, particularly as coaches become a crucial pillar of the training process (Mohammed & Ahmed, 2022).
The trainer has several leadership behaviors/actions in training. The formation of the training environment is close to how the trainer behaves and plays a role in leading the training (Nicholls et al., 2016). The coach's coaching and training style affects the athlete's performance in achieving success; not a few athletes sometimes complain about the leadership style of a coach, which makes an athlete not excited about the training process.
Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded that athletes' motivation in the Men's Futsal Student Activity Unit of the Indonesian Education University has decreased. Referring to the problems illustrated above, the study investigating The

CONCLUSIONS
Referring to the introduction, results, and discussion illustrated above, it can be concluded that the coach's leadership style with the motivation of male athletes in the futsal student activity unit of the Indonesian Education University indicates a significant relationship with a low correlation coefficient. The several leadership styles of coaches reflected in the significance value of authoritarian coaches is higher than the leadership styles of other coaches. Thus, the coach of the Futsal Student Activity Unit of the Indonesian Education University should possess a leadership style that can increase the motivation of his athletes. By applying several leadership styles at the right situational and time, in the future, this research is expected to be developed in more depth. Moreover, it is advisable to increase the number of samples, wider regional coverage, and better and more recent references so that further research can vary and indicate better quality.
