The article was very interesting and I enjoyed learning about the impact collegiate tennis players thought that coaches had an affect on them. The studies were interesting and supported the fact that coaches have more of an impact on their players mental wellness and athletic ability than they know. Not only does this affect tennis players but it also affects every athlete that plays a sport with a coach. A critique that I have would be that it would be interesting if they did a article on the affect the multidimensional theory has on in the workplace because the leadership aspect affect the workforce the same amount if not more than those in athletics.

Athlete leadership dispersion and satisfaction in interactive sport teams
The article focuses on leadership within teams and what the leadership role means using the model of leadership theory model. Not all leaders within a team have to be the coach and this article talks more about the leaders of a team besides just the coaches. Researchers conducted a study to show the formal and informal roles within a team by giving their participants a survey. The participants included 218 intercollegiate athletes who were asked a series of questions before and after the end of their seasons to see who they thought were informal and formal leaders among their teams. The researchers findings were really interesting and concluded that people with all three leadership functions were satisfied with their teams balance, whereas teams that didn’t have people who portrayed all three leadership functions were not satisfied with the imbalance. This directly correlates with the multi-dimensional theory by explaining that the actions of one can directly impact the teams performance.
