What is Better People Leadership Workshop for Teams?

Leadership is one of the most important qualities an athlete can possess, and every coach wants leaders on their team. But do student-athletes truly understand what leadership looks like? Many complete their careers without ever learning the core traits leadership requires. If we want better leaders, we must first focus on building better people - because better people make better leaders.

The Better People Leadership Workshop is a three-lesson, interactive program that helps student-athletes build the mental skills and character traits essential for leadership - on the field, in the classroom, at home, and in their communities. Participants will identify their strengths and create a personal plan to grow as leaders.
