Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study is an exploration into intercollegiate Division I Men's basketball coaches' experiences in recruiting top student-athletes. Its contributions are manifold. The profession is dominated by practitioners who don't spend time researching and writing about their trade. Therefore, this study enhances an area where little has been done. Likewise, it bridges a gap between higher education academic administration and intercollegiate sports management. While previous studies have individual areas and outcomes in coaching leadership style, this study links together major themes, establishing it as a foundational contribution to the body of research. The results of this study have established my framework for successful recruitment of student-athletes and they are: creating a family dynamic among a dynamic group of individuals, harboring a relentless work ethic, establishing and working towards long-term oriented goals, looking at each potential candidate on a case by case basis, and that recruitment is the life blood of a program.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship and difference between how NCAA Division I, team sport student-athletes perceive their own leadership behaviors and how their head coaches perceive the same student-athletes' leadership behaviors. In addition, further analysis examined perceptions between student-athletes and head coaches based on the student-athletes' gender and academic year in school. The study included 121 NCAA Division I, team sport student-athletes and their respective head coaches from two institutions in the Midwest. One of the institutions was a medium sized, four-year, co-educational private university and the second was a large sized, four-year, coeducational public university. The first research question examined the demographic profile of the collegiate student-athletes participating in this study. The second research question studied the relationship between how NCAA Division I student-athletes perceived themselves demonstrating the Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 2008; Kouzes & Posner, 2013; Kouzes & Posner, 2014) and their respective head coaches' perceptions of these behaviors. Using Pearson product-moment correlation, three significant relationships existed between student-athletes and their head coaches for Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, and Enable Others to Act. The third research question undertook paired samples t-tests to investigate the difference between how NCAA Division I student-athletes perceived themselves as demonstrating the Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 2008; Kouzes & Posner, 2013; Kouzes & Posner, 2014) and how their respective head coaches perceived them demonstrating these behaviors. Paired samples t-tests revealed significant differences between student-athletes and head coaches for each practice, Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart. The fourth research question explored the difference between how NCAA Division I female and NCAA Division I male student-athletes perceived themselves as demonstrating the Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 2008; Kouzes & Posner, 2013; Kouzes & Posner, 2014) and how their respective head coaches perceived them demonstrating these behaviors. The researcher used ANOVAs and paired samples t-tests to analyze the question. ANOVAs revealed statistically significant differences for the practices of Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart. Paired samples t-tests revealed statistically significant differences for both genders with all Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership. The final question studied the difference between how NCAA Division I student athletes, by academic year in school, perceived themselves as demonstrating the Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership (Kouzes & Posner, 2008; Kouzes & Posner, 2013; Kouzes & Posner, 2014) and how their respective head coaches perceived them demonstrating these behaviors. Similar to the fourth question, the researcher used ANOVAs and paired samples t-tests to analyze the data. ANOVAs revealed seven significant differences for four of the practices, Model the Way, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart. In addition, paired samples t-tests showed differences in 18 out of a possible 20 cases involving academic year in school and The Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership. In conclusion, scores between student-athletes and coaches for Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, and Enable Others to Act showed a small, positive relationship; therefore, as student-athletes' scores increased so did their head coaches' scores. ANOVAs revealed significant mean differences in scores between female student athletes and their respective head coaches to male student-athletes and their head coaches. For all five practices, paired samples t-tests showed that the difference between mean student-athletes scores and mean head coaches scores were significant and that gender was not a differentiator when comparing scores for the practices. The independent variable with the most influence was academic year in school. Six-of-the-seven significant findings revealed smaller mean differences in scores between the upper-level student-athletes and coaches compared to lower-level student-athletes and coaches. Finally, significant differences existed in 18 of 20 possible cases comparing the mean scores of student-athletes to their head coaches for the Five Practices of Exemplary Student Leadership when examining student-athlete academic year in school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined twenty-five coaches of male Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union basketball teams as to their leadership effectiveness. Leadership effectiveness was determined by percentage of wins in league play and the number of championships won. Specifically, coaches were asked to indicate their orientations on a number of questions. These included data on their training, experience, leadership style, relations with team members, role perception, rating of peers and selfrating of effectiveness. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficients and point biserial coefficients were computed to test the various possible relationships. Significance was accepted at the .05 level of confidence. Descriptive data provided general characteristics of the group. The average age of the coaches was 40 years and 32 percent were born outside of Canada. Their average head coaching experience was 10 years and 100 percent had at least a bachelor's degree or equivalent. Sixty-four percent were physical education majors. Eighteen coaches were married and 17 had at least one child. Twenty percent of the sample had been divorced. Thirty-six percent reported winning at least one coaching award during their head coaching years. Fourteen of the coaches had tenure at their University. The average winning percentage was 57. On the basis of the data provided, the following conclusions were reached: 1. There is no relationship between the measures of coach effectiveness and coach leadership style, degree of authoritarianism, coach-player relations, coach experience and time spent on coaching in season and out of season. 2. There is no relationship between coach authoritarianism and leadership style, coach age, head coaching experience, playing ability and coach effectiveness measures. 3. There is no relationship between coach motivational style and coach training, coach experience, coach-player relations, time spent on coaching in season and out of season, and the playing experience and ability of the coach. 4. There is a positive relationship between how a coach is rated by his peers and his winning percentage and number of championships won. 5. There is no relationship between the measures of coach effectiveness and coach role perception and coach tenure. 6. There is no relationship between coach authoritarianism and tenure and coach role perception. 7. There is no relationship between coach motivational style and coach role perception.

Lund and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executives throughout corporate America have been critical of higher education due to a lack in leadership readiness of recent college graduates. The leadership epidemic of young professionals is being described as the Leadership-Succession Crisis in corporate America where a shortage of young, high potential leaders who are capable of replacing upper-level managers transitioning out of their current roles exists. Recent literature suggests Human Resource (HR) departments are recruiting and hiring former student-athletes as a possible solution to the Leadership Succession Crisis. Participation in sports has long been viewed to provide athletes with increased leadership ability dating back some 2,500 years to the ancient Olympic Games. Athletic involvement is widely believed to provide enhanced leadership development. Athletes have the opportunity to learn and grow in structured environments through ongoing relationships with teammates and coaches. However, limited empirical evidence exists when comparing leadership development of student-athletes with their non-athlete peers. The purpose of this study was to compare whether collegiate student-athletes are better leaders than their collegiate non-athlete peers based on their perceptions of their leadership skills. The study utilized the Student Leadership Practices Inventory (Student LPI) to measure self-perceptions of leadership behaviors of college students (n = 1,454). Kouzes and Posner's LPI is one of the most widely used leadership assessments in the business world and the Student LPI is one of the few leadership instruments designed for and validated on students. The instrument uses a 5-point Likert-scale to measure when students are "at their personal best" as leaders through five practices (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart). Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to measure the relationship between athlete status (student-athletes (n = 660) and non-athlete peers (n = 794)) and division level (Division I ( n = 398), Division II (n = 328), Division III ( n = 728)) on the five leadership practices. The study provides empirical evidence that collegiate student-athletes reported engaging more frequently in four out of five leadership practices (Model the Way, Inspire a Shared Vision, Challenge the Process, Encourage the Heart) than their collegiate non-athlete peers. The results indicate that athletic involvement can serve as a type of leadership development experience for collegiate student-athletes, and that it is reasonable for HR departments to consider candidates with athletic backgrounds as more likely to possess some leader skills than their non-athlete peers during the hiring process.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is significant lack of sport psychology research that relates to strength and conditioning coaches. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine the differences in self-perceived leadership styles of NBA, Division I mens basketball, and Division II mens basketball strength and conditioning coaches. The self-perceived leadership styles of 145 mens basketball strength and conditioning coaches (NBA = 22, DI = 92, and DII = 31) were obtained using the Revised Leadership Scale for Sport (Zhang, Jensen, & Mann, 1996; Jambor & Zhang, 1997). Some questions of the RLSS were adjusted slightly to reflect a weight room setting instead of an athletic setting. All subscales demonstrated a high reliability except for autocratic. Cronbachs Alpha for leadership was: .819 for democratic, .520 for autocratic, .813 for positive feedback, .831 for training and instruction, .724 for social support, and .741 for situational considerations. ANOVA results identified significance on five of the six subscales. Only positive feedback did not show significance. Scheffe post hoc tests were conducted on the five significant leadership subscales. Key findings showed that differences do exist between competitive level and strength and conditioning coach self-perceived leadership styles. The findings of the study indicate the importance of examining differences between competitive level and strength coach leadership styles as well as future studies to examine how strength coaches perceive themselves in comparison to how athletes perceive their strength coachs leadership styles.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This study examined the perceptions of leadership style of Division III head basketball coaches and whether it had an effect on the perceived cohesion of the team. The relationships of leadership and cohesion with both success and satisfaction were also explored. In addition, this study also examined variables such as gender and player status (starters or non-starters) to determine if they had an effect on leadership and cohesion. A combination of convenience and random sampling was used to select potential participants for the study. After receiving the agreement to participate, packets containing a questionnaire for each athlete and head coach, as well as an explanation of the study and instructions, were mailed to the teams. Fourteen of the 21 teams returned their questionnaires, with 13 coach and 145 athlete questionnaires being usable. Athlete questionnaires consisted of 35 items from the Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS), examining four behaviors of leadership: Training and Instruction, Social Support, Democratic Behavior, and Positive Feedback. Also on the athlete questionnaire were 18 items from the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), which measure four dimensions of cohesion: Attraction to Group - Task, Attraction to Group - Social, Group Integration - Task, and Group Integration - Social. One item for measuring overall satisfaction was included, as well as nine demographic items. Coach questionnaires included only the 35 leadership items and seven demographic items. Results showed a significant relationship between leadership and cohesion, specifically between Training and Instruction behaviors and three of the four cohesion dimensions (Attraction to Group - Task, Group Integration - Task, Group Integration - Social). Other noteworthy findings included the significant relationships found between leadership and success, leadership and satisfaction, cohesion and success, and cohesion and satisfaction. Also, there was a significant difference in perceived cohesion between starters and non-starters; no significant difference in perceive leadership behavior was found between these groups. There was a significant difference between genders on leadership behaviors, with men rating each behavior higher. No significant difference was found between genders on cohesion. A discussion of the results includes practical implications for collegiate coaches and athletes and recommendations for future research.
