Abstract

In team and sports circles, leadership today is a key aspect of sporting success and achievement. In the last two or three decades, numerous studies have been conducted that deal with the role and skills of team leaders in sports performance, the assessment of leadership and its impact on team building, their effectiveness and dynamics.

This article examines the role and importance of team leaders' skills in representing them in sport, while assessing the key competencies of a leader through the prism of different leadership styles and ideas. By identifying the main leadership skills in sports, the article tries to present and analyze what are some of the strengths, qualities and competencies that build these leadership skills and how they persuade teams to perform in sports.
