Abstract
The purpose of this article is to critically synthesize theoretical frameworks from leadership research and present a new integrated model for the study of contemporary Olympic sport leadership. The empirical work and leadership theories that this model grows out of are reviewed. This discussion builds support for the heuristic value of the integrated research model of Olympic podium performance. Although research models have been problematised by some coaching scholars, it is argued that the proposed research framework has the potential to inspire questions, challenge assumptions, and begin a leadership dialogue which foregrounds Olympic medalists' and their coaches' voices and experiences. The integrated research model is an antecedent, behavior, and consequence model. The antecedent phase is inspired by Côté et al.'s Coaching Model and includes the coach's cognitive map for sport performance. The behavior phase of this model is largely aligned with transformational leadership behaviors outlined in Chelladurai's sport in the pursuit of excellence framework and the coach-athlete relationship is included in this phase of the model. The consequence or outcome is narrowly defined as an Olympic podium performance. Future research in this unique sport leadership context and inspired by this research model is proposed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
