Introduction

This booklet is designed to support people who are intentionally teaching leadership using the Captains booklet and the Captains & Coaches Workshop DVD, and to take leadership to the next level. Most of the thoughts pertain to leaders at all levels, and others are specifically for leaders of athletic teams.

There are eight sections in this booklet. The first is General Leadership Thoughts, followed by the seven ways to lead your team described in the Captains booklet:

  1. Be the first to serve and the last to be served.
  2. Be the first to lead by example and the last to violate team standards.
  3. Be the lifeline of communication between the coach and the team.
  4. Be the first to praise others and the last to brag or draw attention to yourself.
