What power means
If you want to lead a team of
athletes, you must be able to communicate
persuasively, gain people’s trust and loyalty, treat
people fairly and guide and mentor people
effectively.
You also need to possess a
desire for power. The power motive in sport as in
business is about exerting control over other
people--wanting to influence, direct, guide, praise
and discipline people.
Athletes with a high need for
power perform best when they are in charge and they
have goal-oriented projects and tasks.

|
|
The power motive is important
because it will drive you to want to influence your
competitors, your team members and your sport more
generally.
In order to be a successful
team leader, you need to be able and comfortable
doing these things whilst exhibiting self-awareness
and self-restraint.
