Summary:碩士 === 高雄師範大學 === 教育學系 === 98 === The study aimed to explore three badminton coaches’ leadership and training techniques that influence team performance, and to make concrete suggestions to make the training of badminton teams more successful. The methods of study included interviews with badminton coaches, literature review, particapant observations, and the analysis and interpretation of the badminton coaches’ accounts to get a complete picture of the coaches’ actual leadership and training in badminton teams in real life. In order to draw the conclusions, the researcher used a recorder pen to assist in recording while collecting data, and the interview manuscript was arranged, analyzed, and coded word for word by using the qualitative research software of QSR Nvivo 7; at the same time experience was integrated and related theories were proved. The following conclusions were reached by means of literature review, observation, interview, analysis, and induction: 1. It was explicitly required that when players joined in badminton teams, coaches told them that training stages at primary schools were not the only choice, their studies being important in addition to cultivating their interests and skills in badminton. 2. Promoting the coaches’ leadership was to let the players properly learn the badminton skills and to beef up the coaches’ confidence in their leadership of the badminton teams, further leading them to use aided tools, consult other coaches, and get professional knowledge from books. 3. In order to carry through leadership tactics, the coaches needed to practice what they taught, set an example by personally taking part, and in turn affect the players positively. In addition, the coaches had to communicate with the players frequently and profoundly, and carried out management by walking around in the practice fields so as to have first-hand observation. 4. The badminton training at primary school stages needed more efforts, more resources, and clear-cut management system. During the training of a green hand before he or she became a player, he or she had to be made gradual progress and given moral education and quality schoolwork counseling. 5. It was necessary for coaches to be able to examine the qualities of players, to train and instruct them in badminton, to teach them how to conduct themselves and deal with problems, and to care for their daily life and moral education. Besides, the coaches should also have the ability to continuously pursue their further education. 6. It was a very proper style of leadership that the coaches taught the players in accordance with their aptitude because each and every player was unique. Given the players’ different aptitude and characters, the coaches could not use only one way of training to determine who good or bad players were. For example, some players could be urged or prodded to show their actual strength, but this might not hold true for the others. 7. Efficiency played a vital role in badminton training. The coaches had to have accurate belief in and attitude towards time management, thoughts on how to make better use of time, and awareness of correcting past mistakes. Moreover, the coaches needed to have a deep understanding of the problems that affected efficiency of the training and had to learn how to analyze and solve the problems. 8. Correct attitude led to successful leadership and the style of leadership determined the final result. Success or failure depended on the initial attitude when handling a task. Therefore, players should have good attitude before their participation in badminton teams, and then they should set a goal and maintained enthusiasm in order to continuously generate motive power. 9. The whole year of training scheme should be divided into “preparation stage,” “training stage,” “adjustment stage,” “match stage,” and “rest stage,” and this scheme could be used as a badminton training arrangement. 10. Suggestion for future research was to deeply study and analyze the role of badminton coaches from the coaches’ point of view.
