Det finns olika definitioner av vad en ledare är, vad som är bra ledarskap och det finns en mängd olika ledarskapstyper. En ledare för ett lag är någon som oftast i huvudsak har ansvar att planera träningen. Idag ställs det högre krav på tränare och det krävs mer planering för att nå goda resultat på hög nivå. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka elittränares syn på att bli och vara elittränare. Metoden var en kvalitativ metod där åtta stycken intervjuer har genomförts. Resultatet visar att de flesta tränarna har liknande egenskaper och tankesätt. Dessutom har samtliga tränare utbildningar kopplade till idrotten och några har även läst på universitet. De viktigaste egenskaperna hos en tränare enligt respondenterna är att elittränare ska vara bra på att kommunicera, ha positiv inställning och vara tydliga. De ska även vara omtänksamma, ha en bra kompetens och vara målinriktade. / There are different definitions of what a leader is, what is good leadership and there are a variety of leadership types. A leader of a team is someone who usally primarily responsible to plan the training. Today is it a higher burden on the coach and it requires more planning in order to achieve good results at high level. The purpose of this study is to investigate the elite coach´s vision of becoming and being elite coaches. The method was a qualitative method where eight interviews have been conducted. The results show that most of the coaches have similar characteristics and way of thinking. In addition, all the coaches have training linked to sport and a few have also studied at university. The main characteristics of a coach according to respondents is that elite coaches should be good at communicating, have a positive attitude and be clear. They should also be considerate, to have good skills and targets.

<p>This dissertation explains why behavioral genetic research can be better informed by using characteristics in the human iris as biomarkers for personality, and is divided into five parts. Part I gives an introduction to the classical twin method and an overview of the findings that have led most developmental researchers to recognize that the normal variation of personality depends on a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. Part II highlights empirical findings that during the last twenty years have gradually moved genetic and environmental theory and research to evolve toward one another, and also presents the theory of genetics and experience that currently is used to explain how the interplay between genes and the environment works. Part III explains why, from a developmental perspective, it is of interest to identify candidate genes for personality, and gives a brief overview of genes that have been associated with personality. Problems associated with genetic research on the molecular level and how these apply to personality are also highlighted. Part IV examines molecular research on the iris and the brain, which suggests that genes expressed in the iris could be associated with personality, and explains how the use of iris characteristics can increase power to test candidate genes for personality by taking advantage of the self-organizing properties of the nervous system. The empirical foundation for the questions posed in this dissertation and also the empirical results are presented here. Part V discusses the associations found between iris characteristics and personality, and exemplifies how iris characteristics can be used within the theoretical frameworks presented in parts I, II, III and IV. In other words, Part V explains how iris characteristics – in addition to identify as well as test candidate genes for personality – can be used to investigate how people’s experiences in themselves are influenced by genetic factors.</p>
