Bring Better People Leadership to Your School

What is Better People Leadership Workshop for Captains?

Leadership skills are the most important skills an athlete can possess, and all coaches at the high school level want their players to be leaders. However, do our high school athletes really know what it means to be a leader? Most student-athletes go their entire career without truly understanding the skills and traits that embody leadership.

If we want our student-athletes to be leaders, then we must empower them to become people, because better people make better leaders. Better People Leadership Workshop is an interactive curriculum consisting of three lessons designed to help student-athletes develop the mental skills and character traits that are the foundation for them to become leaders on the field, in the classroom, with their families, and in their communities.
