“Each year I try to find ways to incorporate more Lead ‘Em Up into our program. It’s been that much of a game-changer”
John Kelley | Head Coach, Quince Orchard High School
What is the Coaches Membership?
The Coaches Membership is a dynamic leadership and character program utilizing our unique teaching curriculum to engage and excite athletes into elevating their character and develop as leaders. When the leader improves everybody wins. For a leader to improve, they must continually develop their leadership skills.
40+
Exercises
As with any skill you are trying to improve, repetition is key. This is extremely true with leadership skills. Around the Player Growth Areas, we designed more than 40 leadership exercises. Each of the exercises has a theme and focuses on at least one of the Player Growth Areas. These exercises are specifically designed to engage Athletes at a high level.
9 Player Growth Areas
We have identified the most important leadership skills for athletes. We have broken these down into 9 areas that we call “Player Growth Areas” or “PGAs”. We call them Growth Areas because great leaders need continual growth to be highly effective.
Green Team Framework
It all starts here. The Green Team is a revolutionary teaching concept and exercise that gets players to understand the need to grow as a leader and work to grow their teammates to the next level. It is the foundation of everything.
M-P-S Filter
Each exercise and teaching concept goes through our M-P-S filter (Memorable, Portable, Sticky) and then is Coach-Tested and Player-Approved prior to making it into our curriculum.
“In all my years, I haven’t seen a program engage athletes like the Lead ‘Em Up program”
Jennifer Rizzoti | President, Connecticut Sun & Team USA
How Does the Coaches Membership Work?
Once you have your membership you will be granted access to our dynamic library of exercises. Each exercise is designed to elevate specific aspects of your athletes’ leadership skills. We suggest everyone start with the Green Team. It will quickly become the foundation of everything you want to build in your team.
When Should I Start My Coaches Membership?
Yesterday! No, seriously it can be started at any time and you will begin to see improvement quickly. We suggest starting before your first practice, or in the off-season. By the time you start in-season practices, you have already built the foundations of your leadership. Everything else can then be built on those solid foundations. But it’s never too late to start, teams start and find success mid-season all the time.
“My only regret with Lead ‘Em Up is that I didn’t use the program earlier”
Michael Nesmith | Head Varsity Football Coach, Paint Branch High School
…And all the support you need
Along with the 40+ Exercises, Player Growth Areas, and the Green Team framework, we have added all the support you need to make sure you and your team are able to build success.
