ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this study was to use a structural model to explain leadership function on soccer teams. The model was mediated by consideration of player ability among schoolboys. The model predicted that captains of teams would play center-back and midfield positions and that among schoolboy teams the best players would be captains and that these captains would be more likely to appear in midfield than in professional teams. The results support all predictions and thus indicate that leadership function should be considered in terms of a structural model. Investigated a structural model of leadership function in professional and schoolboy association football (soccer) teams in England. Hypothesized that captains would be more likely to appear in midfield and centre-back positions. Used official records and questionnaire data (N=42) and found support for the hypotheses. Discussed the results in terms of the demands placed on different positions.
