Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the role of national representative coach leadership in facilitating the positive development of athletes in Taekwondo. Method: This study develops a theoretical model from expert panel meetings; two former national coaches, two former national athletes, and a professor with a major in Taekwondo. Based on the panel meetings, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to investigate the evaluation model. Specifically, we used an online AHP tool provided by BPMSG AHP Online System. Results: The results of the study are as follows. The upper items were higher in the order of the communication ability (0.403), expertise (0.384), leader literacy (0.150), and administration (0.063), while the lower items were higher in the order of physical training (0.285), technique analysis (0.257), performance analysis (0.242), and program diversity (0.216). The priority of the communication abilities were higher in the order of physical conditioning (0.399), trust and understanding (0.394), and athlete characteristics (0.207), leader literacy in the order of sense of mission (0.469), teaching philosophy (0.299), and reflective attitude (0.232), and administration in the order of operation (0.444), foreign relation (0.341), and office management (0.215). Lastly, the composite weights considering all upper and lower items were higher in the order of physical conditioning (0.1607), trust and understanding (0.1587), physical training (0.1094), technique analysis (0.0986), performance analysis (0.0929), program diversity (0.0829), athlete characteristics (0.0834), sense of mission (0.0703), teaching philosophy (0.0448), reflective attitude (0.0348), operation (0.0279), foreign relation (0.0214), and office management (0.0135). Conclusion: In conclusion, this study contributes to a meaningful classification of national coaches’ leadership associated with athlete performance and commitment. In particular, it is important to create an environment where leaders can build trustful relationships with athletes.
