Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to examine the preferred leadership profile and motivation of young soccer players. The sample was composed of 99 young male soccer players between (12 to 15 yrs). To evaluate the motivational level of the players, the Sports Motivation Scale (SMS) was used. Leadership was assessed through the Leadership Scale for Sport. Normality of data was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The comparison between different age groups was analyzed through the Mann-Whitney U test. To verify the relationship between leadership style and motivation, the Spearman correlation coeficient was applied (P < 0.05). The results showed that the preference for leadership profile and coaching is given by non-autocratic coaches, who focus on training instruction and help in social support, keeping players more motivated for sports practice. Intrinsic motivation was shown to be related to instruction training style (r = 0.21), social support style (r = 0.20), and autocratic leadership style (r = -0.20). In general, the present study seems to contribute to the knowledge of the coach-athlete relationship and how to keep athletes motivated, evidencing the best style of coaching.
