“…Both Rowold [15] and Callow et al [16] have tested the applicability of the transformational leadership model [17] to the sport coaching context with positive results, and have been supported by qualitative work [18]. Extending this, research has recently suggested that servant leadership may also be an appropriate model [19].…”

The purpose of this concept/review article is to critically discuss the application of sports coaching leadership models to coaching practice. The focus of the discussion will be on the coherence and impact of the numerous models in the current literature, and the accumulated impact that they have on practitioners. This discussion will be framed in current conceptions of sports coaching and expected athlete outcomes. This article can serve an important role in the continuing dialogue about the essence of sports leadership; particularly in relation to how it is defined, how it is measured, and how the leadership literature can be applied in the field.

“…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].…”

A Social Identity Approach to Sport Psychology: Principles, Practice, and Prospects

et al. 2015

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.

“…In particular, the replicable curriculum provided here (in Table 1) is suggested for use by researchers and coaching educators as a basis for future coach training initiatives that share the aim of positive youth development. Further, coach transformational leadership behaviour is associated with other important drivers of positive youth development including intrinsic motivation, positive interpersonal connections and sustained effort towards goal attainment [16][17][18]43]. However, causal evidence is needed as a first step.…”

“…In addition, a test of transformational leadership theory amongst adolescent athletes has shown that coach transformational leadership behaviour predicts athlete outcomes at both an individual and team level [15]. This is in addition to descriptive research undertaken in both University and adult sporting context which associates coach transformational leadership behaviour with positive athlete outcomes [16][17][18][19].Transformational leadership is a form of leadership that occurs when leaders: broaden and enlarge the interest of those whom they lead; act morally; motivate their followers to go beyond individual self-interest for the good of the group and address and engage each individual follower in true commitment [20].…”

This study investigated the impact of a transformational leadership training program for youth sport coaches on adolescent athletes' perceptions of transformational leadership and positive developmental experiences. The transformational leadership training program was associated with higher rates of perceived transformational leadership behaviour at follow-up when compared to baseline measures. Importantly, these increases were associated with significantly higher rates of self-reported developmental experiences. Coach training was associated with a predictability and reliability to athlete outcomes that was not evident in athletes of a comparison group. Transformational leadership may provide a theoretically sound foundation for coaching practice and education in the service of facilitating positive developmental outcomes for athletes.
