Identifying particular characteristics (qualities and abilities) of successful sports coaches could offer other coaches help in improving their performance. Toward this end, 15 high school coaches completed a survey on 17 possible such characteristics, ranking 5 of them above the rest (= 90th percentile): quality of practice, communicating with athletes, motivating athletes, developing athletes` sports skills, and possessing knowledge of the sport. Coaches seeking to enhance their success might focus on these characteristics.
