predictor variables. The working group has consisted of a total of 258 individuals: 103 females and 155 male students
who have studied in sports high schools in Ankara. Data collection tool of the research has been formed as three parts:
Personal information form, “The Leadership Characteristic Scale” and “Communication Skills Scale”. In addition to
propounding the descriptive statistics, for data analysis, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis
have also been applied. It has been concluded that variables such as communication skills, age, sport team, branch
(sport type), and grade level have a moderate correlation with the leadership characteristics. Two models have been
designed since it has been determined that there is a correlation which may cause multiple connection problems
between the predictor variables. The results obtained have shown that both models are statistically significant (1. Model
p<0.001 R2=.422, 2. Model p<0.001 R2=.459). The results of this study which has examined the leadership
characteristics of young people in sports high school has pointed out that some variables also influence the leadership
characteristics as well as communication skills of individuals.
