Leadership
the behavioural processes through which one person influences another person, or a group, toward attaining a specific set of objectives or goals
Relationship between personality and leadership
-early research suggested leadership as a component of personality
-further research failed to prove this link
-overall, weak evidence linking personality and leadership
Personality traits associated with leadership
high extraversion, conscientiousness, openness to experience, lower neuroticism
Situaion influence of leadership
most used framework for understanding leadership in sport
Five leadsership behaviours/dimesnions
- training and instruction
- positive feedback
- Social Support
- Autocratic
- Democratic
What affects athlete satisfaction (situational influence)
-training and instruction
-positive feedback
-social support
Limitations of leadsership scale for support:
- Restricted range of operationalized behaviours (same meaning for everyone)
- Omits salient behaviours that contribute to enhanced performance (excludes important behaviours)
Toxic Leadership
-negative attitudes or feelings towards athletes
-Involves behaviours: expressing anger and hostility, modelling anti-social behaviours
Laissez Faire
-an ‘hands off” approach
-Involves behaviours: showing disinterest, avoiding responsibilities, and decision making
Neutral
-going through the motions
-involves behaviours like: vague cues, passive instruction, organization, feedback
Transactional Leadership
-reinforces standards and expectations through rewards or punishments
Transactional behaviours
-discussing rewards and punishments
-monitoring or reacting to errors
Transformational Leadership
-Leaders developing followers into leaders
-Changes how athletes feel about their tasks, themselves, their relationships, and their environment
**CAN BE DEVELOPED
Transformational Behaviours
Small, everyday behaviours contributing to transformational change

**PERSON CENTERED APPROACH
what does transformational coaching show athletes
-they are important
-what they do is important
Social identity
That aspect of peoples self concept associated with membership in the social groups to which they identify and belong
Purpose of social identity in leadership
-powerful motivators toward both individual and collective behaviours
-social connectedness and affiliation
-implementing stragities to emphasize unity, personal bonds, connectivity and distinctiveness
Athlete Leader
a team member acting in a formal or informal capacity, who guides and influences other team members towards a common objective
Four functions of leaders on teams
- Help accomplish team objectives
- Address social needs by promoting team harmony and organizing team activities
- Represent team at external functions
- Motivate his/her peers
Characteristics of a leader
-highly skilled, vertern, well-liked, intrinsically motivated and centrally located individuals
-Informal leaders who may provide support, advice and guidance tend to be the best leaders
Followership
The way in which followes interact with and respond to a leader
Factors that make you a productive follower
-a collective orientation
-Active independant thinking
-Transparency in relationships
-Receptivity to others’ view points
Exercise Leadership
-Exercise leaders may impact participants physical and mental well-being

Personal trainers can foster interactions characterized by
-attention to clients personal and psychological needs
- Encouragement, enthusiasm and optimism
-Behaviours that build trust and respect
-Appropriate role modelling

What a team IS NOT
-A statistical group
-unorganized collections
-subculture
-organizations
-associations
A team is….
-Common Fate
-Mutual Benefit
-Social Structure
-categorization
-Quality Interaction
Team composition
Characteristics of individuals who compose the group
Team resources
include psychological characteristics and members’ ability
Team features
team size, sport size, competition level
Team territory
physical space as a variable that can contribute to group individual satisfaction and performance
Roles
ensure roles are defined and accepted
Norms
standards for behaviours that are expected of group members
Leadership
formal and informal leaders
Cooperation and competition
the dynamics of cooperation snd competition between team members
Interaction and commuitcation
essential process for the team to come to an understanding about itself and where it is going
Emergency States
-cohesion
-social identity
-team resilience
Characteristics of cohesion
-Multidimensional
-Dynamic
-Instrumental
-Affective
Multidimensional characteristic of dimension
factors that hold groups together are varied and numerous
Dynamic characteristic of cohesion
reasons for cohesion can change over time
instrumental characteristic for cohesion
all groups form for a reason
affective characteristics for cohesion
sometimes groups stay together because there are strong emotional ties
Conceptual model of group cohesion
group aspects: beliefs members hold about the group as a collective
individual aspects: beliefs group members hold about personal beliefs
Conceptual model of group cohesion: Group and individual aspects divided into
task and social cohesion
Correlates of Group cohesion
-Environmental factors
-Leadership Factors
-Team Factors
-Personal Factors
environmental correlates: group size
- inverse relationship between cohesion and group size
- the smaller group, the greater the level of cohesion
- documented in both sport and exercise
personal correlates: effort and sacrafices
- perceptions of a team’s cohesiveness are associated with an individuals actual or perceived level of effort in a team
- individual and teamates sacrifices contribute to team task and social cohesion
- reduction in individual effort when individuals work collectively compared to alone
social loafing
when individuals in groups give less than 100% effort
social loafing: increased under what conditions?
- individual output cannot be evaluated
- task perceived as low in meaningfulness
- individual personal involvement is low
- individuals are strangers to each other
- teammates are seen as high ability
- competing against weaker opponent
leadership correlates
transformational leadership/coaching increase cohesion on teams
team correlates: Success and Efficacy
-moderate to large positive relationship between cohesion and performance
-teams high in collective efficacy rated task and social cohesion higher than teams lower in collective efficacy
3 contributors to social identity
- Ingroup ties (connections and bonds)
- Ingroup Affect (positive feelings)
- Cognitive Centrality (importance)
Ingroup Ties: connections and bonds
-creating an environment that is helpful to building relationships with peers
-Athletes need opporitunities to find similarities with those around them, create connections, and feel accepted within a group
Ingroup Affect: Positive Feelings
-having fun and feeling engaged will increase the likelihood of continued involvement
-people do things that they enjoy, and when they associate positive feelings with a particular group, they will identify more strongly with that group
Cognitive Centrality: Importance of Group
-the degree of importance that someone places on their membership within a group can have important cognitive and behavioural consequences
-if its important to them, they will try to represent the group with behaviours that are deemed important to that group and will want to represent the group in other aspects of their lives
Team buliding: team environment
involves distinctiveness and togetherness
Team building: team structure
involves roles, norms and leadership
Team Building: team processes
cooperation, communication and team goals

Sociocultural Theories
proposes that media, parents, and peers have influence on body image
How parents influence negative body image
rejecting, teasing, setting appearance norms, modelling behaviour, encouraging weight shape and control
Impressive motivation
how motivated individuals are to control how they are percieved by other people
Impressive construction
creating an image that one wishes to convey to others along with the particular strategies individuals use to create this impression (ex. athletic clothing or makeup)
Self-presentation efficacy
reflects the percieved probability of sucessfully conveyign one’s desired impressions to others; driven by self-efficacy beliefs
self presentation can:
discourage from physical activity or motivate towards desired image
Social Comparison Theory
people evaluate abilities through comparison; downward or upward social comparison
Downward social comparison
comparing oneself to others who are worse off on attributes of value
Upward social comparison
comparing oneself to others who are better off on attributes that are valued
Self-Discrepancy Theory
-compare self to internalized standards called self-guides
-Two types of self-guides: ideal self and ought self
-Two types of self-discrepancies: Actual: Ideal or Ought discrepanciy
Ideal Self
A self-reflection characterized by one’s hopes and aspirations of what they want to be
Ought Self
A self-reflection characterized by one’s hopes and aspirations of what a persion thinks he or she should be
Ideal Discrepancy
Occurs when people percieve that their current state is discrepant from their ideal state
Ought discrepancy
Occurs when individuals perceive that their current state is discrepant from the state they feel they should be in

-create appreciation of unique bodies
-create intervention strageties to manage appearance related social pressures
-developing interventions that involve parents and peers might help in promoting positive body image social norms
Cognitive dissonance training
A program consisting of having people argue against body ideals in a way that is incongruent with their personal beliefs
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
A problem-based and action-oriented approach to addressing dysfuncitional emotions and maladaptive behaviours and cognitions (delivered by trained therapists)
**less practical in sport and physical education settings
what was proposed by Morgan in 1980
there is an inverse relationship between psychopathology and sport performance
Mental health model of sport performance
high performers exhibit an absence of mental illness symptoms and the presence of mental health
the mental health dual-continuum model proposes that
- the absence of mental illness does not mean the presence of mental health
- the presence of mental illness does not mean the absence of mental health
- in line with WHO definition of health

- use of term without being licensed is illegal
-requires a PhD , postdoctoral experience and passing of national exam
Mental Skills Coach
practitioners who hav e received their sport psychology training in physical education or exercise science departments
Flow
a state in which people are so involved in activity that nothing else seems to matter
Golden rule of flow
skill of individual must meet challenge of situation
Mental skills
- can be taught and learned with well-developed learning progressions and systematic practice repetitions
Psychological skills training
a program or intervention that entails a structured and consistent practice of psychological skills and 3 distinct phases:
-Education phase
-Acquisition phase
-Practice phase
Education Phase
Athletes recognize the importance of mental skills and their impact on performance
Acquisition phase
Athletes acquire various psychological skills and learn to employ them
Practice phase
Athletes implement skills in practice and competition
Education phase: performance profiling
a method that allows athletes to understand what qualities are needed to be successful in their support
Stages of education phase
step 1: ranking and defining the most important qualities
step 2: Plotting your own performance profile
step 3: Generating action points
Step 4: Identifying barriers
Benefits of performance profiling
-enhance athlete motivation
-allows athletes to monitor their own progress
-helps athletes identify strengths and weaknesses
-helps athletes set goals to be achieved
Goal Setting
goals direct attention, mobilize effort, foster persistence, and promote the development of new learning strategies
Three types of goals
-performance goals
-process goals
-outcome goals
Performance goals
Goals that focus on improvement and attainment of personal performance goals
Process goals
Goals that focus on specific behaviours in which athletes must engage throughout a performance
Outcome goals
goals that focus on social comparison and competitive results
SMART goal guidelines
S - specific
M- measureable
A - adjustable
R - realistic
T - timely
Common goal setting problems
-setting too many goals
-failure to recognize individual differences
-understanding implementation time
-failure to provide follow-up and evaluation

- incorporates senses
Analytic Model of imagery
-has cognitive and motivational functions that operate on specific or general level
-involves cognitive general imagery and motivational general imagery
cognitive general imagery
images of strageties, game plans, or routines
motivational general imagery
images relating to psychological arousal levels and emotions
The five functions of imagery
Mastery, Arousal, Goals, Strageties, Skills
Recommendations for using imagery
-incorporate into daily routine
-positive rather than negative
-be in good mood
-less-skilled athletes need encouragement
-all ages can benefit
Self-Talk
Verbilizations or statements that are:
-addressed to the self, multidimensional in nature
-have interpretive elements associated with the content of the self-statements
Self-Talk serves at least 2 functions:
instructional or motivational
Instructional self-talk
the overt or covert speech that individuals use for skill deevelopment, skill execution, stragety development, and general performance improvement
Motivational Self-Talk
the overt or covert speech that individuals use for:
-mastery (building confidence and being mentally ready)
-Arousal control (psyching up, relaxing)
-drive (increasing effort, achieving potential)
Six dimensions of self-talk
- Valence (positive or negative)
- Verbalization (overt or covert)
- Self-determination (assigned or freely chosen)
- Directional Interpretation (motivating or demotivating)
- Directional Intensity (not at all or very much so)
- Frequency (often or never)
Arousal regulation
-there is a relationship between arousal and performance
-athletes use tecniques to reduce or increase arousal
Techniques to reduce arousal
-breathing
-progressive relaxation
-meditation
-autogenic training
-biofeedback
Biofeedback
the use of feedback from own body signals to improve performance
Autogenic Training
Focuses on feelings associated with limbs and muscles
Progressive Relaxation
involves tensing and relaxing specific muscles

Focus on the complex, rapidly changing environement
Narrow-Internal Attentional Style
Focus on effort and feeling
Narrow-External Attentional Style
Focus on single target
Chocking
alterations in perception, time and coordination due to increasing physiological arousal, making attention more internally focused
Situations leading chocking
physiological changes and attentional changes leading to performance problems
physiological changes due to chocking
- increases muscle tension
- increases heart rate
Attentional changes due to chocking
- Narrowing of attention
- Internal focus of attention

Emphasizes awareness and acceptance of internal and external states, non-judgemental, present moment, and task relevant awareness
-associated with improved mental health, reduced athletic injury and overall improved athletic performance
Controlling Distractions
- Factors in training and competitive environment
- General living and environemtnal factors
- Previous preparation factors
- Relationships
Parking Distractions
attentionally setting aside distractions and narrowing focus on performance relevant cues
Parking
-establish appropriate parking image which has personal meaning and can be comfortable used
Performance routines
top performers know exactly how to manage their time activities and personal space prior and during competition to produce the right kind os feelings and focus
How to construct performance routines
-segment routines into manageable chunks which allow you to focus totally on task elements
-develop individual goals for each segment
problems with mental skill programs
-lack of conviction/time
-belief that they are innate
-lack of sport knowledge
-lack of follow up
-negative perceptions of sport psychology
the need for physical activity interventions
- important to understand how to use physcial activity and exercise behaviour research to help people maintain healthy lifestyle
Importance of maintaining a physcially active lifestyle
-guidelines suggest adults engage in 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physcial activity peer week
-85% adults and 93% young people are not meeting reccomendations
Determinants of Exercise Intervention research
Factors that predict exercise behaviour:
-genetic
-psychological
-social
-program
-physical environement
-socioeconomic
Intervention research
research that evaluates how manipulating determinant affects exercise behaviour
Issues with exercise innervention research
-few are translated to practical settings
-not all are equally effective
-only a small number are directed towards changing behaviour in low-middle income countries
Two types of intervention research involving physical activity
- Evaluation of physical activity as an outcome variable
- Physical activity as the treatment variable
Theory based intervention research
Interventions based on theoretically proposed relationships
Non-theory-based interventions
interventions that are not based on theoretically proposed relationships
Theory of planned behaviour
attitudes and social norms will influence intentions
Social cognitive theory can manipulate self efficacy by
- focusing on mastery or performance accomplishments
-goal setting, social support, and educational programs
-aid of physical activity counsellor
Stage-matching inte
strageties sensitive to the specific needs of the individual within different stages of change according to the transtheoretical model
Self Determination Theory
Engage in successful self-regulation when intrinsically motivated to participate based on personal interests and values
Motivational Interviewing
a method of communication used to help facilitate behaviour change by helping people consider their own reasons for wanting to engage in a new behaviour
interventions based on dog walking
dog walking was found to be associated with achieving recommended guildelines
Technology interventions: website technology
-websites are dynamic and interactive and new information is updated regularly
-track unique behaviours, emotions and thoughts
Technology Interventions: Exergaming
physically active games that are played on gaming systems
*not a substitute for real exercise
Technology Interventions: Social Media
-connect people in their shared objectives but social media does not always provide supportive component
Mass media interventions
interventions that attempt to reach large numbers of individuals simultaneously through public forums, such as video, television, radio, and print.
-difficult for behaviour changes to happen
Environmental approaches to reinstate physical activity
built environments: any element in a community that is designed or constructed by people
School-based interventions
-addresses childhood obesity
-school health programs
barriers for school based PA interventions
providing resources, get support from school boards, providing teachers with training
