The statistical sample included those<br />coaches holding degrees in international table tennis coaching in Iran<br />(n=150). The data were collected using three questionnaires named Sybrya<br />Shrink Emotional Intelligence (1986), Barton J. Communication Skills<br />(1990) and Maslach Burnout (1996). The results showed a significant<br />negative relationship between emotional intelligence and the prevalence of<br />burnout in male and female coaches. A significant negative correlation was<br />observed between communication skills and the intensity of burnout in<br />female coaches. Between emotional intelligence and communication skills,<br />the best predictor for burnout was emotional intelligence. So, it is suggested<br />that special training coaching courses should be held to promote<br />communication skills level and emotional intelligence in the coaches so that<br />they can be less exposed to burnout.
