This article examines the role and importance of team leaders' skills in representing them in sport, while assessing the key competencies of a leader through the prism of different leadership styles and ideas. By identifying the main leadership skills in sports, the article tries to present and analyze what are some of the strengths, qualities and competencies that build these leadership skills and how they persuade teams to perform in sports.
