Sport Leadership

Graduate

This course is founded on the notion that leadership is the social application of power, meaning that leadership is not only a structural concept, but that it should be understood through acknowledging the social contexts of an individual, group, or organization. Using current research relating to leadership in a sport context, this course focuses on the current state of sport leadership research, leadership theory, leadership styles, current issues relating to gender and racial representations in leadership positions, and the social construction of leadership.
