Descriptive study reveals higher emotion perception in female elite taekwondo coaches, suggesting gender and age shape athletic mentorship.

To identify gender and age differences in emotional management and emotional intelligence among elite taekwondo coaches.
Evaluated emotional intelligence in a sample of N=20 elite taekwondo coaches using the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test (SSEIT) within a non-experimental, quantitative descriptive design.
Analyzed differences across gender and age cohorts using Welch's t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Female coaches demonstrated significantly higher emotion perception than male coaches (p < .012), alongside a trend toward overall emotional intelligence differences by gender (p < .065).
No significant differences appeared between male and female coaches in self-emotion management, managing others' emotions, or emotion utilization.
Age did not significantly influence total emotional intelligence, emotion perception, self-emotion management, or emotion utilization, but exhibited a marginally significant effect on managing others' emotions (p < .051).
