Elite leadership in sport: A tale of two captains

Le résumé fourni par la source

This study investigated the leadership experiences of two elite sports captains. Leadership research has become prominent across several contexts especially sport, where traditionally the role of coaches as leaders has prevailed. Two captains were purposively sampled in this study for their captaincy experience of senior international sports teams. Data were analysed using inductive and deductive methods where the following key themes emerged: creating a team environment, personal attributes, communication, the leader’s own game and their particular era/style. Both captains provided experiences which supported key sports leadership research and contributed to the wider leadership context. Future studies are called for to further quantify and isolate the key leadership attributes.
