Developing Sport Team Leaders
Prerequisite or co-requisite: PSY 555 and permission of course instructor. Complementing PSY 555 Developing Sport Team Leadership, this course provides a 2-credit option for students to document the application of a leadership development plan on a sport team. This course reinforces the value of leadership and leadership development on sport teams by helping to make “team leadership” a core team value. Advancing this objective, students learn to align the values of sport teams with the broader values of educational institutions. Students taking PSY 556 must provide evidence that they have permission to implement a leadership development program on an organized sport team prior to enrolling in the class (hours the student spends with the team must exceed 90 hours). Students complete and submit weekly on-line journal entries to document their experiences, participate on a discussion board to answer relevant questions about leader-athlete development, and share ideas about improving leader-athlete skills with other coaches. Students also write a term paper that summarizes successes in promoting leadership, challenges faced in implementing a leadership development program, and ideas for strengthening on-team leadership among student athletes.
