Coaches, administrators, parents and even spectators have a degree of responsibility for the development of leadership attitudes and skills. Anyone who ever played on a team knows that leadership came from within the team.
Real leadership is found somewhere in the pack.
Successful, experienced coaches know how to identify leadership potential. They seek to add their own with that which is present on the team. On some teams everybody leads. On other teams leadership is simply dormant. Too many leaders, too few, too much leadership, too little or somewhere in between, finding leadership is a challenge for every coach.
