Does Emotionally Intelligent Coach Predict Better Communication Skills in Your Football Team?

Abstract

Aim: Research into emotional intelligence and communication skills in the sport have predominantly focused on the effects of sporting performance. In particular, researchers in sports psychology have suggested that emotional intelligence is inherently social and interpersonal. This shift represents a significant change in how communication skills are conceptualized and, given the intensity of emotions experienced in football, represents a potentially productive line of inquiry. On the other hand, communication skills manifest inherent emotional intelligence that is a very important factor in sporting performance specifically in football. This study examined relationships between level of emotional intelligence and communication skills among football coaches.


Material and Methods: 431 football coaches completed a self-report measure of Emotional Intelligence Inventory in Sport developed by Lane (2009), adapted to Turkish version by Adilogullari and Gorgulu (2015) and Communication Skills Evaluation Scale, which developed by Korkut (1996). The data were analyzed by using t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation test.


ResultsRegression analyses revealed that emotional intelligence has predictive power (0.15) on communication skills while a positive correlation was found between emotional intelligence and communication skills.


Conclusion: Lend support to the notion that while emotional intelligence increase there is also an increase in the level of communication skills. Therefore, this study addresses that the level of emotional intelligence draws attention to increase communication skills for football coaches. Thus, examination of factors that might aid the development of strategies aimed to manage such emotions could not only aid conceptual clarity but also help develop strategies intended for communication skills to assist the sporting performance.
