Developing Sport Team Leaders
This course delivers leadership, team
processes, and motivation principles to help coaches develop the leadership
skills of sport team athletes. This course aligns sport program goals
with education goals by utilizing athletic settings to promote skills
that student-athletes can apply on sport teams and in other group settings
they encounter. Coaches will learn how to set specific leadership goals
with team leader-athletes and will learn concrete and constructive
ways to mentor leader-athletes. Over the course of the class, coaches
will use course principles to construct a plan for developing sport
team leaders and for making "team leadership" a core team
value. Funding for this course is sponsored by the National Wrestling
Coaches Association (NWCA).
