Notes
- Abstract:
- Research examining coaches’ perceptions of athlete leadership is scarce. Most research regarding athlete leadership has examined specific components, such as social, psychological, and ability characteristics, both informal and formal roles and functions of athlete leaders, and team captains specifically. Bucci, Bloom, Loughead, and Caron (2012) expanded the literature by examining coaches’ perceptions regarding athlete leadership. However, their investigation solely focused on male ice hockey coaches. Thus, the purpose of this study was to extend Bucci et al.’s (2012) findings by examining coaches’ perceptions of athlete leadership on female teams. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with coaches of collegiate female team sports. The results provide a broader understanding of athlete leadership by exploring coaches’ definitions and conceptions of leadership, approaches to identifying and selecting athlete leaders, expectations for athlete leaders, approaches to developing athlete leaders, and proposed keys to athlete leaders’ success. Practical implications are discussed for coaches, athletes, as well as mental performance consultants.
