Data were collected using the "Perceived Leadership Scale" in the study. According to the data obtained, statistically significant differences were found between the teams in terms of total scores (occupation, production, change) of leadership scale for team players' coaches (p <0.05). A statistically significant difference (p <0.05) with total leadership scores (occupation, production, change) according to the gender variable of the teams was also found. It was concluded that female athletes participating in the research adopted the occupational, production and change leadership behavior properties about their coaches more than male athletes.
