The purpose of this study was to establish reliability scores for the Revised Leadership Scale for Strength and Conditioning (RLSSC). Modifications were made to the Revised Leadership Scale for Sport (RLSS) (Zhang et al., 1996) to make it specific to strength and conditioning. Sixty-one Division I athletes from a large public southeastern university responded to the scale. Fifty-three scales were deemed usable and analyzed to assess a reliability score. Reliability scores, determined by Cronbach\u27s alpha, ranges from: \u27social support\u27, .75; \u27situational consideration\u27; .76, \u27training and instruction\u27, .90; \u27democratic behavior\u27, .83, \u27autocratic behavior\u27, .64; and \u27personal feedback\u27, .84. Reliability scores revealed were within acceptable limits. Validity for the RLSSC can be inferred through the already established reliability and validity scores of the RLSS. The RLSSC is a reliable and valid instrument to assess leadership preference of athletes. _ Recommendation for use of the RLSSC include assessing athlete\u27s perception of leadership, strength and conditioning coaches perception of their own leadership, and a qualitative study to provide a thick, detailed description of leadership between strength and conditioning coaches and athletes
