Each day all athletes meet together in informal, co-ed settings and participate in creative, fun activities that help develop important leadership skills. In these popular sessions, you'll discuss real-life issues and come up with techniques to manage them. You'll learn how to resolve conflict, communicate effectively, set and achieve realistic goals, work fast under pressure, and motivate yourself and others. From our leadership training you'll develop a strong sense of commitment and pride in what you take on and accomplish. Your coaches, teammates, family, and friends will recognize your new skills and call upon you to be a leader.
Leadership is a dynamic process learned through experience.
Sports provide a natural environment in which to learn about leadership. Athletes are consistently asked to perform under pressure, collaborate with teammates, and gain insight about themselves and others. Through our sports and leadership development program, we enable high school athletes to build confidence, improve their communication skills, and learn to truly enjoy a sense of commitment, all of which are invaluable for future success. The leadership process is an exciting dynamic that affects all athletes. This initial seminar introduces the leadership theme to all participants, inspiring them to begin thinking about how they play integral roles in leadership development.
