As you rise to the top as a positional leader your responsibilities and rights increase.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. They may vary depending on the organization
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that stepping into a top leadership role brings more duties and accountability, not automatically more freedom or rights. As you rise, you’re entrusted with larger responsibilities—like safeguarding athletes, ensuring fair play, managing resources, and upholding the sport’s integrity—and you’re subject to greater oversight and scrutiny. Those added duties come with governance, policy, and ethical expectations that can actually constrain what you can do. So the claim that both responsibilities and rights increase is not generally accurate; while influence and scope of responsibility expand, rights are not guaranteed to grow in the same way. In many settings, you may gain authority but also face tighter controls and higher accountability.
