Abstract
This study looks to find what experienced high school team sport coaches believe are the qualities and leadership characteristics that they feel make them successful and effective. The study reviews previous literature that exists that studies high school team sport coaches. This includes looking at qualities of effective coaches, leadership characteristics and behaviors, various coaching philosophies, and ways that coaches impact the lives of their players both athletes and people outside of athletics. Multiple rounds of interviews are conducted with 12 current or former high school coaches to ask them a variety of questions to help find commonalities and themes in what they feel makes an effective coach. The coaches in this survey have multiple years of coaching at the high school level and their answers and opinions in combination with existing literature will help serve as a resource for future coaches entering the profession.
