There are many examples of ineffective and even negative leaders in the sports arena. Not valuing leadership for its own sake, not seeking opportunities to help students and athletes improve their leadership skills--these attitudes are a great loss for the players, coaches, teams, schools, communities and society as a whole. New generations need coaching on how to become productive leaders, yet many coaches, administrators and parents have limited resources. This book reveals what the most revered scholars and icons from business and other leadership fields know about leadership theory, research and practice--and applies the results to the world of sport. This is a book parents, coaches and administrators can use to maximize their own leadership potential as well as teach leadership to those under their charges. Any sports participant can use this book as a resource to improve his or her leadership "IQ."
