Abstract
BRANDAO, M.R.F. and CARCHAN, D.. Leadership preferences behaviors and its influence on athletes performance. Motri. [online]. 2010, vol.6, n.1, pp.53-69. ISSN 1646-107X.
The main objective of this study was to evaluate volleyball athletes´ perception of the coach behavior and its relationship with the performance in games. For those, 12 male, Brazilian volleyball high-level players, with mean of age 20.6 years were evaluated through an open question: Do you see a relationship between the leadership style of your coach and your performance in games? The answers were analyzed through the Discourse of the Collective Subject. Data showed that 75% of the players tended to perceived the coach behavior as influencing directly their performance (The coach leadership is essential for my performance); 17% perceive it in a subordinate way (Sometimes yes, sometimes, no, depends...), and 8% perceived as no influence (Leadership and performance are different). In conclusion we can say that there is a tendency to perceive the coach behavior as directly connected with the performance.
