In proportion to athlete's special quality, the style of coach's leadership was described by average and standard difference. And The comparison related with each school, each gender, and each level was represented by taking t-test. According to the style of the coach's leadership, there were also the athletes contentment represented by interrelation. The following conclusions were obtained by taking revolution analysis to know the effect and consequences.
1. The style of the coach's leadership which studied people perceived, was represented as the sequence; the figure of training and instruction, democratic behavior and positive feedback. Especially, the figure of autocratic behavior was the lowest thing which the people perceived.

And although there was no similar difference statistically the group of the high position compared with that of the low position perceived higher about the figure of training and directions, democratic behavior, and social support .
5. In the interrelation between the readership style and the contentment degree of the athletes each school, there are high relations in the team contentment and the athlete's contentment, when the training and instruction refer to p<.05, in the case of the athletes who are middle school students. There are also high relations in the role, the team, and the athlete's contentment, when the democratic type refers to P< .01. There are, however, minus relations in the game contentment, the team contentment, the athlete's contentment, when the autocratic behavior style refers to P<.05. In the case of the athletes who are the high school students, there is statistically no relationship between the leadership style and the athlete's contentment.

However the autocratic behavior style is the modificatory factor to have a negative effect when it refers to p<.05. In the case of the contentment degree of female athletes they are the modificatry factor to have a positive effect when the democratic behavior style is the modificatory factor to have a positive effect for the high level athletes when the contentment degree of athletes refers to p<.05.
