AB  - Various theories in the field of positive youth development (PYD) through sport 
      argue that student athletes' satisfaction with basic psychological needs, life 
      skills development, and well-being are closely related to each other. This study 
      identified the structural relationship among three basic psychological needs, 
      life skills, and subjective well-being. Korean Taekwondo student athletes (N = 
      302, M(age) = 17.67, range = 17-19) completed a survey evaluating basic 
      psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), life skills 
      (teamwork, goal setting, social skills, time management, and leadership), and 
      subjective well-being (life satisfaction, positive/negative affect). Data were 
      analyzed by using descriptive statistics, correlation, and the Structural 
      Equation Model (SEM). The model's goodness of fit was varkappa2/df = 2.78, TLI = 0.90, 
      CFI = 0.90, RMSEA = 0.077 (95% CI = 0.70, 0.80), and SRMR = 0.085. The three 
      basic psychological needs were positively related to life skills and subjective 
      well-being. In addition, life skills had a mediation effect between the three 
      basic psychological needs and subjective well-being. The interpretation of the 
      results indicated that life skills development and well-being depend on basic 
      psychological needs. Thus, coaches should encourage a PYD climate to satisfy 
      their athletes' psychological needs.
