“…For instance, perceptions of collective efficacy have been found to be predicted by the provision of a coach-derived mastery team climate (where coaches emphasize learning and improvement and encourage team members to work together) rather than a performance or ego-involved climate (where coaches emphasize rivalry between members and use punitive tactics in response to performance errors; Magyar, Feltz, & Simpson, 2004). In terms of team sport outcomes, collective efficacy has been found to be positively related to measures of team performance (e.g., Myers, Feltz, & Short, 2004), athlete satisfaction (Jowett, Shanmugam, & Caccoulis, 2012), and team resilience, as teams describe overcoming adversity as a source for gaining confidence (Morgan, Fletcher, & Sarkar, 2013).…”

A commonly held belief in sports is the need for team members to be able to work well together in order for that team to be successful. Despite this assumption, research in the field of sport psychology has yet to formally or sufficiently conceptualize what is meant by teamwork. In this theoretical and integrative review, we draw from the extant organizational psychology and team development literature to present a multidimensional conceptual framework of teamwork in sport. We provide a working definition of teamwork in sport and discuss how teamwork sits within a broader model of team effectiveness. We conclude by providing an overview of salient research avenues on teamwork and team effectiveness in sport, which have potential implications for guiding interventions with sports teams.

“…For example, there is an ever-increasing research body that has highlighted the associations of the quality of the coach-athlete relationship with coach-created motivational climates (Olympiou, Jowett, & Duda, 2008), multiple achievement goals (Adie & Jowett, 2010), passion for sport (Lafreniere, Jowett, Vallerand, & Carbonneau, 2011;Lafreniere, Jowett, Vallerand, Donahue, & Lorimer, 2008), physical self-concept (Jowett, 2008a), satisfaction with sport (Jowett & Nezlek, 2012;Lorimer & Jowett, 2009), attachment styles (Davis & Jowett, 2010), Big Five personality traits (Yang & Jowett, 2010b), interpersonal perceptions (Jowett, 2006), interpersonal conflict (Jowett, 2009), empathic accuracy (Lorimer & Jowett, 2009), collective efficacy (Jowett, Shanmugam, & Caccoulis, 2012), and team cohesions (Jowett & Chaundy, 2004). Collectively, the research findings highlight that the coach-athlete relationship is central to coaches' and athletes' performance-related aspects (e.g., passion for sport, satisfaction with sport, motivation) as well as psychological well-being (e.g., positive affect, relationship satisfaction, interpersonal conflict).…”

The Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire was developed to effectively measure affective, cognitive, and behavioral aspects, represented by the interpersonal constructs of closeness, commitment, and complementarity, of the quality of the relationship within the context of sport coaching. The current study sought to determine the internal reliability and factorial validity of the long (the 29-item Long Version Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire) and short (11-item Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire and 13-item Greek Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire) versions of the Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire with a sample of 800 Chinese coaches and athletes. Results supported the internal reliability across all Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire versions examined, while confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) only supported the factorial validity of the three-factor first-order model of the 11-item Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire. The results are discussed in terms of their implications for theory, research, and practice.

Research on the effect of athlete leadership on pre-cursors of team performance such as team confidence is sparse. To explore the underlying mechanisms of how athlete leaders impact their team's confidence, an online survey was completed by 2,867 players and coaches from nine different team sports in Flanders (Belgium). We distinguished between two types of team confidence: collective efficacy, assessed by the CEQS subscales of Effort, Persistence, Preparation, and Unity; and team outcome confidence, measured by the Ability subscale. The results demonstrated that the perceived quality of athlete leaders was positively related to participants' team outcome confidence. The present findings are the first in sport settings to highlight the potential value of collective efficacy and team identification as underlying processes. Because high-quality leaders strengthen team members' identification with the team, the current study also provides initial evidence for the applicability of the identity based leadership approach in sport settings.Keywords: peer leaders, leadership, winning confidence, social identity approach, coaching, The most talented group of players does not always win a sports game. What matters is how well these players function as a team. In order to optimize this team functioning, effective leadership has been proposed as a crucial determinant (Cotterill, 2013). Although research in sport has typically focused on leadership of the coach (Chelladurai, 2007), recent research has established the importance of high-quality athlete leaders for the effective functioning of sports teams (Price & Weiss, 2011, 2013. In this regard, athletes are an important, but so far underinvestigated, source of leadership within sports teams.Building upon earlier work (Carron, Hausenblas, & Eys, 2005;Kogler Hill, 2001), Loughead and colleagues (2006) proposed a three-factor classification of athlete leadership functions: (1) task functions, which help the team to achieve its goal (e.g., giving teammates tactical advice); (2) social functions, which foster positive interactions between team members (e.g., caring for a good atmosphere off the field); and (3) external functions, which facilitate communication with people outside the team (e.g., with club management, media, and sponsors). Recently, empirical evidence has been reported for a fourth function, namely the motivational function (Fransen, Vanbeselaere, De Cuyper, Vande Broek, & Boen, 2014).The motivational leader is the best motivator on the field. This leader encourages his/her teammates to do their utmost, and initiates fresh heart into players who are discouraged.Although previous research on athlete leadership mainly focused on the team captain as the formal leader of the team, recent empirical evidence demonstrated that informal leaders rather than the captain take the lead, both on and off the field . We will therefore focus on the leadership quality of the best athlete leader on each of the four leadership roles instead of investigating the leadershi...
