“…(also see Howitt & Henry, 2012). The flexible aspect of this theme supported Chan and Mallett's (2011) claim that high-performance coaches require qualities beyond technical and tactical skills, such as leadership and the ability to facilitate a functional leader-follower relationship; and that the key to a functional coach-athlete relationship was the coach's emotional intelligence. Consequently, Chan and Mallett (2011) championed emotional intelligence as a key coaching skill that elite coaches need to master.…”

“…Accordingly, in countries where the sporting system is largely or entirely governed by NSOs, such as New Zealand and Australia, emotional intelligence (EI) is a sought-after quality for senior leadership positions (Sport New Zealand, 2015b, p. 19). However, our knowledge of EI in NSO leadership is mostly based on inferences from research with camp leaders (Magyar et al, 2007), team captains (Stough et al, 2009;Voight, 2014) and coaches (Thelwell et al, 2008;Chan and Mallett, 2011;Hwang et al, 2013).
