The Impact of the GROW Model in Enhancing Motor Performance Based on Meta-Leadership Among Al-Muthanna University Basketball Team Players

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of Meta-Leadership on improving motor performance through the GROW model among Al-Muthanna University’s basketball team players, seeking to uncover the role of advanced leadership in enhancing motor education outcomes. The research problem is defined by the following question: What is the impact of Meta-Leadership in improving motor performance via the GROW model among Al-Muthanna University basketball players?

The research objectives include determining the level of Meta-Leadership among students of the College of Physical Education and Sports Sciences at Al-Muthanna University and identifying the extent to which the GROW model is applied in motor learning situations. Given the nature of the problem, the researcher utilized the experimental method. The research population consisted of (183) male and female students from Al-Muthanna University’s basketball team for the academic year (2025–2026), distributed across seven academic sections, The study concluded that Meta-Leadership significantly contributes to enhancing the efficiency of motor learning among students. Furthermore, the GROW model serves as an ideal framework for applying modern leadership concepts in educational settings. The researcher recommends integrating the concept of Meta-Leadership into physical education teacher preparation programs and adopting the GROW model as a standard methodology. This involves training coaches and instructors at Al-Muthanna University on structuring training sessions according to the GROW sequence (Goal, Reality, Options, Will) to ensure players are engaged both mentally and physically in the learning process
