Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine if leadership has an impact on team performance. The researcher used a questionnaire to survey athletes from several sports teams at a small Division III institution. There was no indication that specific leadership led to a better win/loss record or if their win/loss record was indicative of their season. Research in this area should continue and look for a larger sample size to allow for the results to be more valid.
