Abstract Details

2015, Master of Applied Communication Theory and Methodology, Cleveland State University, College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences.
The study sought to investigate the association between coaches’ leadership and athletes’ perceived stress before important games. Participants included 107 male and female college athletes from three universities in the U.S. The results indicated that both transformational and transactional leadership predicted reduction in athletes’ perceived stress before important games. Communication time and practice time with coach had significant positive associations with coaches’ transformational leadership. In addition, athletes’ neuroticism as a personality trait was a significant predictor of athletes’ perceived stress before important games. This study highlighted the salient role of coaches’ transformational and transactional leadership before important games and discussed its theoretical and practical implications.
