“…These results are in line with the previous reports, showing that sports participation be a significant persuasive tool and sports experts argue that these activities build and grow important leadership skills. Possibly the best-known skills are decision making, encouraging partners, seeking feedback, building interpersonal relationships, and confidently leading the team group (Araujo, Davids, Chow, Passos, & Raab, 2009;Cook & Fletcher, 2017;Shepherd, Lee, & Kerr, 2006). Another study has found similar results, showing that physical education and sport are predictors of the development of physical and social abilities.…”

The on-going research is being done to understand the existing sport-experiences of players and officials about the expansion of leadership abilities via sport. This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on n=472 (394 players; 78 officials) participated in the Inter-Regional u-23 Games, 2018 organized by the Directorate General of Sport, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A valid and reliable questionnaire was used for the collection of required data. The software package SPSS-24 was used to evaluate the collected data sets. Sports engagement has been found to play an important role in the expansion of leadership skills (p<.05) and the interrelationship between participation in sport and augmentation of leadership skills (.471 ** at 0.01). The inferential analysis revealed no significant difference between male and female players and coaches on the role of sport in the development of leadership skills (p > .05). However, significant differences were measured concerning the role of sport in developing important skills of leadership based on the respondents’ sport experiences (p < .05). These findings can be attributed to the promotion of the sport proponents who argue that participation in sport is considered as an important tool that helps in developing important leadership skills among youth.

In team management, decision-making is a gradual constructive process closely related to cognitive neuroscience of the human brain. Based on the theory of cognitive neuroscience, this paper explores the impacts of empowering decision-makers to the decision-making of sports management, using the natural connection between decision-making and mental health. A questionnaire survey was carried out among sports managers of 12 colleges in China. Through the analysis of the survey results, it is learned that the four dimensions of mental health and emotional empowerment all have great impacts on decision quality; selfefficacy has the most significant impacts, followed by work meaning, work significance and autonomy; an empowering decision-maker can greatly improve sports management, due to the high self-efficacy and the autonomy he/she gives to team members. This research provides a valuable reference for applying cognitive neuroscience in empowered decision-making.

“…The common sports mental fatigue is not only manifested as physical symptoms, but also exhibited as mental exhaustion, weariness and fatigue, including individual emotions and moods, etc. (Cook & Fletcher, 2017). At present, neurophysiological tests, psychological scales and behavioral measures are generally adopted for the comprehensive evaluation and analysis of sports mental fatigue (Dixon, Lee, & Ghaye, 2015).…”

Sports fatigue is a common mental state for athletes, due to the high pressure of competitive sports. As a tool to promote self-efficacy, sports management has been increasingly adopted to relax the mental fatigue of athletes. Based on sports psychology, this paper explores the correlation between the mental state and sports management through a survey on 37 track-and-field athletes, using the 5-point scale. Through the analysis of the survey data, it is concluded that the mental fatigue induced by sports affects the brain functions, especially the cognitive processing ability; the symptoms of mental fatigue are attributable to the fatigue of the central nerves, which is in turn caused by bodily fatigue; sports management can greatly ease the mental fatigue induced by sports activities. The research results provide a new direction for curing sports fatigue.
