    he aim of the study was to examine the level of mental tension experienced by future coaches–athletes and how it is influenced by emotional exhaustion and professional orientation, with a sample size of 100 participants. Methods: The study used validated psycho-diagnostic tools, descriptive statistics, normality tests (Kolmogorov– Smirnov and Shapiro–Wilk), regression analysis, effect size measurement (Cohen's d), and statistical significance coefficients. Results: Using the Mann–Whitney test on the Psychological Stress Scale (PSM-25), significant differences in mental tension were found between future coaches of different specializations and genders (p < .01; d = −1.252). Significant differences were identified in occupational burnout components measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Educators Survey (MBI-ES): Emotional exhaustion (p < .01; d = −0.904), depersonalization (p < .01; d = −0.454), and reduced personal accomplishment (p < .01; d = −0.666). Professional orientation was evaluated using the Bass Orientation Inventory, revealing significant effects in personal orientation (p < .01; d = −0.951) and task orientation (p < .01; d = 0.774). Multiple regression analysis was applied to forecast causal relationships between mental tension, emotional exhaustion, and professional orientation in future coaches-athletes of different specializations. Independent variables include the following indicators of the test “MBI-ES”: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (Dp), reduction in personal achievements (RPA), and “Bass Orientation Inventory”: рersonal orientation (PO), task orientation (TO), collectivist orientation (CO). Regression analysis results allowed us to create a model that accounts for a fairly large share of predictors in determining the dependent variable (R2 = .773, p = .001). The predictor “emotional exhaustion” with β = 3.111, SE = .230, t = 13.544, and p = .000 has the largest share in the model. The share of this predictor in the model is 43.6 %. The predictor “task orientation” with β = -3.240, SE = .326, t = -9.948, and p = .000 shows a negative effect on mental tension. The share of this predictor in the model is 23.3%. The predictor “depersonalization” with a negative effect on the variability of the dependent variable (β = -1.252, SE = .338, t = -3.703, p = .000) has the smallest share in the model. The share of this predictor in the model is 3.24%. Discussion and conclusions: It was found that future female coaches-athletes generally demonstrate higher levels of psychological stress, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization compared to boys. At the same time, male coaches-athletes are more prone to reflection and less prone to reduction in personal achievements. Emotional exhaustion is a key predictor of mental tension in coaches-athletes, which is corroborated by regression analysis results. Task orientation and depersonalization are the predictors that negatively affect the variability of the dependent variable. Research into future coaches-athletes’ behavior in extreme situations depending on their personality structure, types of sports, professional experience, and level of sports mastery seems promising.
