Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyse, in one of the best European basketball leagues (the Spanish League, ACB), the possible changes in the self-perception of the coaching behaviours throughout the competition period depending on the variable classification expectations of the coach. The Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS3) questionnaire was used. The sample was composed of nine coaches. It is concluded that coaches who meet their expectations showed a significant difference in the self-perception of positive feedback behaviour (3.7 ± 0.5 / 4.1 ± 0.4). In the rest of the behaviours, no significant differences were found, nor when behaviours were analysed without taking into account the expectations variable. At the same time, there was great instability in the position of the coach, and it was also verified that the change of coach does not ensure an improvement in results.

Keywords: coach, leadership, behaviour, change of coach, expectations
