transform your player’s leadership and elevate your team’s culture
Struggling to take your team to a higher level?
Every tool you will need to build a championship team is available in our Coaches Membership.
As coaches, we believe there is always a higher level our team can reach.
In order to reach that next level it is essential your players demonstrate the highest level of accountability, communication, and focus.
Have you experienced any of these behaviors:
- Players who are “IN”, but not “ALL- IN”
- Players who lack consistency
- Players who don’t seem to care “enough”
- Players who aren’t willing to hold teammates to a higher standard
- Players who don’t exhibit the level of energy and enthusiasm needed to perform at their best

Is your team lacking the character needed to succeed?
![Mental Character Moral Character Green Team Framework Success 1](https://leademup.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Mental-Character-Moral-Character.png)
There are two types of character in sports; moral character and mental character.
Moral character speaks to your integrity
Mental character speaks to your performance.
Unfortunately, our players don’t constantly exhibit the character needed to reach their full potential.
Moral
- Maturity
- Respect
- Positivity
- Accountability
- Responsibility
- Self-Awareness
Mental
- Drive
- Discipline
- Passion
- Consistency
- Work Ethic
- Resiliency
Your season will be different when the character of your players is different

“I went through a difficult season where I had no answer as to why we were struggling with so much talent. I was then reminded of Lead ‘Em Up and decided to go all-in. It changed everything. My program has grown exponentially this past year because of the leaders we are learning to become.”
Rachael Simmons | Head Girls Volleyball Coach | Moore High School
They show up “special” Every Day
When your players demonstrate the right character they show up “special” Every Day.
Our coaches membership is the toolbox that contains all the tools you’ll need to help your players show up special every day.
Every team and player has specific areas they need to improve, we have the solutions to help improve each of those areas.

“I cannot tell you how much Lead ‘Em Up has changed our entire program. I see it every day in the way our players talk to one another. It gave our players the language to really communicate what needed to be communicated in the moment. It’s amazing.”
Don Grinstead | Athletic Director | Phoenixville Area School District

Poor Body Language?

Does your team not listen well?

Do you have poor communicators?
In order to have effective conversations, players need to learn to balance love (sugar) and truth (salt).
![Sugar & Salt Sugar and Salt](https://leademup.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Sugar-and-Salt.png)

Transform Your Leadership
Transform Your SeasonFrequently Asked Questions
How long do I get access to the Coaches Membership?
You receive access to the membership for 12-months with renewal opportunities at the end of the year.
What is covered on the Virtual On-Boarding Call?
During our call we will help get you set-up for success, sharing best practices, providing helpful strategies to maximize the program and answer any questions you may have. After the call, you will be READY to roll.
How often should I do Lead ‘Em Up?
We recommend teams targeting 12 sessions throughout a calendar year. A session is 30-45 minutes of intentional focus on leadership development. This equates to 6-9 hours annually.
How quickly will I begin seeing results?
Instantly. You will begin seeing the language and momentum of the sessions starting to play out in your practices, games and players lives, immediately following sessions. We’ve designed the program full of sticky language and teachings that players seamlessly begin incorporating into their interactions.
How do I know which exercises to begin using?
Each team fills out a Team Leadership Assessment once they gain access to the Membership. Based on the Assessment results, we will provide you a customized plan on which exercise to begin with and the order to follow. You can follow our suggested plan but you also have the ability to navigate through the exercises at your own discretion.
When should we start Lead ‘Em Up?
Today! Most teams in Lead ‘Em Up approach their leadership development with a year-long mindset, engaging in sessions during the season as well as offseason. The biggest thing to consider is attendance. Start when you can best guarantee full attendance. Your players will begin adopting a unique leadership language, so when players miss it, they don’t understand the language.
WHAT IF I HAVE MULTIPLE TEAMS I want to use this with?
Great question. We have an athletic program option for $1099 that you can select for multiple teams. For example, if you’re an Athletic Director (or maybe you oversee a youth sports organization) and want all your teams to have access. Simply purchase the Athletic Program package and you’ll receive a special username/password that allows multiple teams to access the materials.
How long does it take to learn the exercises?
We allow you to learn the exercises through video, audio or by printing the lesson plan. I’d say give yourself 15-20 minutes to learn each exercise so you can then facilitate it. All-in-all, learning and facilitating a Lead ‘Em Up exercise will take a fraction of the time it takes to learn and implement a new play, defensive set, etc., so if you’ve implemented something on offense or defense, you are MORE than capable to implement Lead ‘Em Up.
How does the Captains Course work?
The Captains Course is an 8-part Self-Guided course the Captains do on their own, together with each other. Simply send them the PDF course and they can go through it together. We recommend having one of the Captains be the point person to organize and initiate the meetings. There are two points during the self-guided course where the Captains have to check in with the coach, so the coach can have assurance the course is being completed.
I already have the Green Team Framework, why do I need the Coaches Membership?
The Green Team Framework is our 7-exercise, 30-day framework designed to kickstart your team’s leadership, character and culture. The Coaches Membership has 40+ exercises along with a library of dynamic resources to sustain a full leadership program with your team. Leadership development is an on-going practice and the Membership gives you ALL the tools you need.
Should I do Lead ‘Em Up with just the team or the full program (JV, Varsity, etc)
That is up to you! Some use it with their whole program, while others reserve it strictly for varsity. There are pros and cons to both. Pros for whole program: everyone experiences it, you start developing leaders early. Cons for the whole program: the larger the group the more distraction, it may reduce players willingness to participate, both teams won’t be going through and experiencing the same things so its tougher to personalize the session.
What do I do after year one of the membership?
The hope is that you renew and continue utilizing Lead ‘Em Up. On average coaches are only able to go through 20-25% of the full curriculum in year one, so there will still be so much content you haven’t completed yet. In addition, we strongly encourage you continue to teach and go deeper on the core (Green Team Framework and Followership) every year. And there’s always new updates and content being provided.
