Abstract
Emotional intelligence has been a topic of great interest to researchers in many different
areas as it is associated with mental, psychosomatic, and physical health. In the sports context, it is
a significant variable that can play an important role in improving the team’s performance. Although
there are numerous tools to assess emotional intelligence, few of them have been validated explicitly
in a sports sample, and even fewer have had coaches as a target population. Therefore, this study
aimed to validate the Spanish version of the work group emotional intelligence profile short version
(WEIP-S) in a sample of Spanish federated coaches. The results confirm that this instrument presents
good psychometric properties to measure the emotional intelligence of sports coaches. The original
four-factor model (awareness of one’s own emotions, management of one’s own emotions, awareness
of others’ emotions, and management of others’ emotions) shows good reliability and convergent
validity for all four factors except for the management of one’s own emotions. These findings suggest
that it is possible to measure the emotional intelligence of coaches and offer the opportunity to
continue investigating the relevance of constructing specific scales to measure this construct in the
sports context.
