    The purpose of this research is to identify the psychological profile of Malaysian female
    cricket athletes. The sample size consists of 21 Malaysian athletes who took part in Incheon
    Asian Sport, South Korea 2014. The type of questionnaire used in this research are the Sports
    Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) to evaluate athletes’ mental endurance; the Sports
    Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT) to assess athlete’s anxiety and the Leadership Scale for
    Sports (LSS) to evaluate coach’s leadership qualities. The data is analysed by means of a
    descriptive research method and standard variance. Only one respondent received the scores
    between 26-30 whilst the rest received scores between 0-22. The results suggest that
    Malaysian female cricket athletes possess low mental endurance. The primary factor that
    affects mental endurance is motivation. The study also established that the level of anxiety
    among athletes is moderate. Training and orders were found to be the general leadership
    qualities amongst the five dimension for athletes whilst the autocratic dimension is the least.
    As for the leadership qualities that is most commonly used by coaches is positive
    feedback whilst the least leadership dimension used is autocratic. The result this study
    provides considerable insight in the field of sports, especially to coaches and those who are
    involved in sports development from a psychological standpoint that may affect the
    performance of the athletes.
