leadership skills for Athletes
Get started with the program coaches are calling a leadership “CHEAT CODE”!
Building Leaders Since 2015
We believe that when the leader improves everybody wins. And for a leader to improve, they must continually develop their leadership skills.
We also believe that the strongest leaders know when to let someone else lead. We call this “Rotational Leadership”.
A leader cannot lead without a group of people willing to follow them. This is why we focus on developing followership skills alongside leadership skills.
“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”
Why Choose Us?
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”. We call them Growth Areas because a leader needs to continually grow their leadership skills to continue to be effective as a leader.
Communication
Confidence
Engagement
Enthusiasm
Focus
Habits
Relationships
Self-Awareness
Self-Discipline
“In all my years, I haven’t seen a program engage athletes like the Lead ‘Em Up program”
Exercises
As with all skills you are trying to improve, repetition is key. This is extremely true with leadership skills. Around the Player Growth Areas, we designed more than forty 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.
Leadership Built on Character
Building a leadership program with your team is not easy. It takes hard work and dedication. But all the hard work and dedication can topple if your team does not start out with a solid foundation.
That is why we built “The Green Team”. It is what all the other exercises build upon. The Green Team is what will set the foundation of your leadership program. A set of standards your Athletes build and agree upon with each other. Those standards will set the bar for the character the athletes expect of one another.
“My only regret with Lead ‘Em Up is that I didn’t use the program earlier”
