Abstract: Leadership style is an essential component of the effectiveness of the coach’s work. There are three styles of coaches generally accepted in sports: dictatorial, democratic and negligent. Each of these styles has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is why it is important to understand each of them. Purpose of the study: The purpose of this research was to determine, by means of an applied questionnaire, to what extent coaches use leadership styles and their impact within a sports organization. Methods and means: To carry out this study, the questionnaire-based survey method was used - The Coaches’ Interpersonal Style Questionnaire (Pulido et al., 2018). It included 10 questions with reference to the leadership style of the coaches. The questionnaire measured 3 forms of leadership style – democratic, authoritarian and negligent. The collected data were measured using a 5-item Likert scale represented by the numbers 1 – never, and 5 – frequently/always. Results: The comparative graphic clearly shows an absolute dominance of the democratic style in each center, in the dictatorial style there is a predominantly significant difference between clubs, and the negligent style is used less often or never. Conclusions: In general, the coaches have understood the modern trends and that is why the democratic leadership style prevails, managing to involve even very young athletes in decision-making, which also implies responsibility for both parties.
