coaching experience and 69 females with the mean age of 28.82±5.16 years old
and 4.46±6.40 years of coaching experience) were selected. For data collection,
four questionnaires were used: Personal information, Hill et al. (2004)
perfectionism, Coudron stress and Burnout questionnaire of Maslach and Jackson
