“…Evidence exists to suggest that coaches' use of TFL behaviours is linked with positive psychosocial outcomes, including athlete satisfaction, effort, motivation, and group cohesion (Arthur, Woodman, Ong, Hardy, & Ntoumanis, 2011;Callow, Smith, Hardy, Arthur, & Hardy, 2009;Charbonneau, Barling, & Kelloway, 2001;Rowold, 2006). Of particular relevance to PYD research, Vella et al (2013) demonstrated that TFL may foster youth's personal development as higher ratings of coach TFL behaviours were associated with the development of personal and social skills, cognitive skills, goal setting skills, and initiative.…”

There is growing recognition that Transformational Leadership theory (TFL) holds significant potential for coaching research in youth sport. While the existing literature offers insight into the types of athlete outcomes that are associated with TFL, studies evaluating how these outcomes can be acquired are limited. The purpose of the present study was to synthesise and integrate research across a variety of disciplines (e.g. organisational psychology, health care and promotion, education, and sport and exercise psychology) examining the processes by which TFL influences followers' (i.e. employees, students, patients, athletes, etc.) psychosocial development. A systematic search was conducted of six electronic databases covering a wide range of disciplines. Peer-reviewed, original studies published in English were included in this review. The initial search yielded 2077 papers, of which 151 met the selection criteria and were retained for analysis. A descriptive, content analysis-based approach was used to assess emerging patterns in research design and study findings. Results revealed numerous processes at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental levels that contributed to the relationships between TFL and follower development. A conceptual model of these processes is proposed, along with recommendations for future coaching research in youth sport.

“…Research attention has supported the predictive qualities of transformational leadership in sport (e.g., Arthur, Woodman, Ong, Hardy, & Ntoumanis, 2011;Rowold, 2006). For instance, Rowold demonstrated that transformational behaviours of martial arts coaches led to elevated perceptions of coach effectiveness in comparison to transactional behaviours.…”

The purpose of this review is to demonstrate the applicability of a social identity approach to leadership in sporting contexts. A social identity approach to leadership contends that leaders and group members are connected through feeling a sense of belonging and emotional attachment to their group. The present review (a) outlines the theoretical underpinnings of social identity theory, (b) reflects on the four principles of social identity leadership and applies them to sport, (c) contrasts social identity leadership with current leadership theories, and (d) provides suggestions for future research investigating a social identity approach to leadership in sport.Accordingly, the review illustrates how an appreciation of the social context and group members' values allow leaders to mobilise-enlist the motivation and abilities of-athletes to achieve the leader's vision. A social identity approach to leadership has the potential to extend understanding of leadership in sport by emphasising the role of groups and context in leadership.

“…Although a range of sport-specific models of leadership have been proposed-in particular, the Multidimensional Model of Leadership [136] and the Mediational Model of Leadership Behavior [137]-more recent work has focused on the importance of transformational leadership [138][139][140][141][142][143], with its distinct emphasis on the leader-follower relationship. Yet despite the promise that transformational leadership might hold for sport-e.g., in advancing beyond simple transactional or exchange theories of leadership-critics have questioned both its focus on charismatic leadership [144] and its rather vague theoretical underpinnings [145].…”

Drawing on social identity theory and self-categorization theory, we outline an approach to sport psychology that understands groups not simply as features of sporting contexts but rather as elements that can be, and often are, incorporated into a person's sense of self and, through this, become powerful determinants of their sport-related behavior. The underpinnings of this social identity approach are outlined, and four key lessons for sport that are indicative of the analytical and practical power of the approach are presented. These suggest that social identity is the basis for sports group (1) behavior, (2) formation and development, (3) support and stress appraisal, and (4) leadership. Building on recent developments within sport science, we outline an agenda for future research by identifying a range of topics to which the social identity approach could fruitfully contribute. Key Points• We outline a social identity approach to sport psychology based upon social identity and self-categorization theories.• We argue that this approach has the potential to make a significant, unique, and powerful contribution to the analysis of an array of phenomena and behaviors that are at the heart of sport and sport psychology.• In particular, the approach offers a comprehensive analysis of the ways in which individual psychology both structures, and is structured by, the dynamics of group life; this involves seeing groups not simply as features of sporting contexts but rather as elements that can be, and often are, incorporated into a person's sense of self and, through this, become powerful determinants of their sport-related behavior.
