Becoming a Team Leader
A Workshop for Student-Athletes
Presenter: Dr. Cory Dobbs

Student-athletes face a variety of challenges in exercising leadership on their teams. This dynamic workshop for team captains and team leaders addresses leadership challenges faced by student-athletes and explores strategies for becoming an effective team leader.

 The Becoming a Team Leader Workshop involves a comprehensive program of activities designed to help student-athletes transfer newly learned skills, knowledge, and abilities to real and immediate situations.  This workshop is designed to help student-athletes understand the role and responsibilities of a team leader.  Workshops are half-day or full day and delivered on-site so your student-athletes have a home field advantage.

 Your student-athletes will be introduced to The Academy for Sport Leadership’s Leadership Development Model (LDM).  The Academy’s LDM is a unique, context specific, framework upon which student-athletes can build a solid leadership foundation.

 A variety of teaching methods are used including presentation and interactive activities.  Participants will engage in meaningful discourse, reflection, discussion, and personal inventories.  Your student-athletes will learn how to apply core leadership principles to navigate leadership challenges that surface throughout a competitive season and beyond.  The end result is your student-athletes are prepared to take on a variety of leadership roles now and in the future.

Each participant will receive a copy of Becoming a Team Leader: A Workbook for the Student-Athlete which provides student-athletes with self, teammate and coach feedback on one’s leadership action to guide the creation of personalized leadership development plans.
