Elements of Leadership Leadership is the ability to guide, influence, and motivate people to accomplish a goal. Some theories suggest that leadership is a behavioral process that can be learned through traits that can be taught. Some believe it is innate. Leadership requires both physical and emotional aspects that include good interpersonal skills, such as effective communication skills and the ability to show empathy  towards others.

When it comes to leadership, Sports is often disregarded as a source to be considered. Researchers often disregard or fail to see that there is a structure more than the team and its players. The roles of coaches and player positions have merit for consideration in leadership behaviors. Outside of playing the game, much organization is required, including budgeting, planning, educating, motivating, and executing for desired results. The coach serves as a motivational influencer that leads a team to progression of achieving a goal.
