Leadership Programming for Student Athletes – Help for Coaches, AD’s

Coaches and AD’s, are you looking for fun and creative ways to teach your student athletes about leadership and role modeling?  Then look no further than the My Game My Life sport education curriculum, designed to teach student athletes hands-on tips, strategies, and insights to maximize the sport experience by embracing the importance of social, academic, and athletic responsibilities.

Seems like everywhere I travel there is an expectation that student athletes act as positive role models for their teams, schools, and communities, but rarely are they ever taught how to do this.  It is for this reason that I created My Game My Life to help student athletes actually learn leadership skills — and the great part about this is that the skills we are talking about are actually athletic transferable skills.  This means that what works for them on the field or court will also help in the classroom and everything else they do in life.

Focus – Believe – Commit – Achieve

Help your captains and team leaders learn about integrity, team building, decision making, and helping others by embracing their roles as student athletes.  Student athletes are often the most decorated and visible students on campus, and because of their identity have a great opportunity to positively influence others at school.  Help the kids you coach develop these important life skills — get started today by learning more about My Game My Life!
