This week’s post is geared towards upperclassmen in high school or college. Coaching is about impacting and influencing as many lives as possible. Hopefully this post will help some student-athlete become a better a better leader and leave a lasting a legacy in their program. To me a leaving a legacy is creating and maintaining a standard of excellence that is passed on to younger players. We’re going to discuss three ways to leave a leadership legacy.
The number one thing a player must understand about being a leader is that it requiresyou to be a servant leader. This means you should look first to serve your teammates. Good leaders have to be good servants first and foremost. John Quincy Adams said, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”
