本研究旨在探討我國國家級保齡球教練領導行為之研究。本研究以1994~2005之間，曾經擔任國家保齡球代表隊之八位優秀執行教練為研究對象。本研究採質性研究方法，藉由深入訪談方式，以國家級保齡球教練領導行為設為五大主題「教練領導行為」、「教練價值觀」、「教練對隊員之訓練與管理方式」、「教練領導球隊之團隊凝聚力」、「教練與選手間相處之相關問題」，歸納整理研究結果得到以下結論：（一）一位優秀的國家級教練是要有責任感、理念、行動力、好的人際關係、與選手良好互動、有一套完整的組織管理、具信賴感。（二）至於民主式的教練領導行為模式，是被大部分保齡球教練所採用的。（三）教練的價值觀對於選手自我設定目標與達成，亦是相當的重視。（四）而在訓練與生活管理方面，教練最常要求選手自我約束、自我管理，以配合團隊的整體行動和發揮個人最佳戰力。（五）對於團隊凝聚力，教練認為是不可或缺的成功因素。
教練因應趨勢走向國際化，除了不斷充實專業素養，更應加強外語能力，提升選手素質和成績表現。
