The sports team is a place where relationships are made and broken, sometimes improving the efficiency of the team, other times are reducing it. The coaches translate this state by several notions namely identity, team spirit, complicity, cooperation or cohesion.... etc. The search for this last notion is, for any trainer, a permanent concern. However, the understanding of the phenomena linked to the cohesion of a sports team, in a given situation, can only be conceived from a systemic perspective. In fact, the individual, the team and the environment are the elements that influence the most; the establishment of a network of interaction of individuals facing any task. The concept of cohesion deals with mechanisms that bring together individuals from the same team to be more effective in given situations. This paper is organized around the study of two types of variables: situational or related to the structure of a team. It is shown that cohesion is an essential process that determines performance in collective sport teams. The leadership approach aims to define the role of certain individuals, known as "leaders", in the collective functioning of teams. In relation to sports, we question how athletes perceive the actions of coaches in team sports (Serpa, 1991) in terms of compatibility or preference (Terry 1984) ( Carron 1985) . Again, these approaches point to the fact that some situations are more compatible with the coaches „profiles, depending on the characteristics of the leaders.
