The four different qualities I will be talking about are decision making, evaluation, communication and also talking about managing a group. After I explained theses I will then relate them to an effective sports leader.
An effective sports leader needs to make decisions in long term and short term parts. They need to consider what to do and why. Making good decisions will come through good experience of having to make big decisions either within a game or outside. Decision making means a sports leader makes a choice of what to do to help his own team out.
A good sports leader will take the time to evaluate their own performance or other participants. Evaluating their own performance helps them to see their mistakes and help to improve in the near future. They have to consider what went well and what things they could improve on. They also needs to think about there team mates and make sure they can lead them on with advice to help them to improve on the future. Evaluation means looking at a performance of a player and giving him feedback to what he thinks of it such as good points and bad points.
Having a good level of communication with your team mates is vital in a team based game. Communicating with all your team mates can help them become more aware and ready for what could be happening in the game. E.g. a player calling “time” when they have enough time to control the ball if they do not know about it. This quality could be one of the most important qualities to have as a sports leader. There are various ways to communicate with your team mates but this will not be successful if the message is not clear or understood which today in football is a lot harder as there are many different races that compete in a team. The different ways to communicate are verbally, non-verbally, by listening, by demonstrating and by assisting.
Verbal communication is talking to your team to help your participants. Making it clear helps a lot and
