Leadership for Athletes
The secret to success is good leadership, and good leadership is all about making the lives of your team members better. – Tony Dungy
This course was developed as we identified that the young leaders we were working with had little knowledge of effective leadership. We compiled our experience, our knowledge and our strategies to share and develop young leaders.
This five lesson course dives deep into the characteristics of effective leadership, the myths and mistakes of leadership that are out there. We go through a self assessment as effective leaders know where they have to grow as a person and do the work required to achieve the change.
Lastly group dynamics are not taught to the young athletes. It is very difficult to lead a group, even tougher when you don’t understand the perspective and behaviors of others.
We address all of these topics in this course. The result, a more confident athlete who leads themselves and now has the ability to lead others.

Too often young leaders venture into the unknown and it changes their behavior. This can lead to frustration and confusion. Self leadership is the most effective. Knowing themselves and how to improve and change is what will inspire others around them to do the same.
This is an in depth course to give the athletes what they need, insights to what effective and influential leadership consists of.
