| dc.description.abstract | Team captains play an important role in promoting positive life skill development (PLSD) in their teammates. However, little research has been conducted to understand how team captains perceive the value of PLSD in high performance sport. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to understand how team captains integrate PLSD within high performance sport. The participants in this study were team captains from high performance sports with teammates ranging from 14 to 38 years old. Data collection was conducted through two semi structured interviews. Results indicated the participants considered themselves PLSD-focused leaders and acknowledged the need to develop specific PLSD strategies. Nevertheless, team captains recognized the need to attain support from their coaches to implement PLSD in high performance sport. Moving forward, coaches could provide a support system for athlete leaders to further enhance their ability to promote PLSD in high performance sport | pt_PT |
