Coach’s Reflection
Coach, take a moment to reflect on the lesson and how you can lead by example to your players.
Coach, you are a leader and spend most of your time in that role, but have you ever reflected on your role as a follower? Where would you rate yourself as a follower: Green, Gray, or Red? Throughout the rest of the season be intentional about showing up Green as a follower. Whether it’s with coaches, athletes, or administrators you have the ability to lead the leader and enhance others’ confidence as leaders through your followership.
