  27. THE LEADER'S STORY • A team leader realizes that setting an emotional agenda, rather than following one, can dictate whether a positive or negative climate exists in a team’s overall morale on or off the playing field…. I can make things happen

  28. YOU AND YOUR COACH You must have the highest levels of trust and communication with your coach

  29. RELATIONSHIP COMMUNICATION CONDUIT TO TEAM COACH ATHLETE The team leader must meet regularly with the coaches to discuss many aspects of team dynamics. These meetings are facilitated most effectively by an established weekly time and place ex. leaders breakfast. Team morale and feedback on training can also be valuable for coaches.

  30. IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THE COACH It is more about you and your teammates than it is about your coach and the team IT'S ABOUT YOU

  31. BE DEPENDABLE BE DEPENDABLE – A dependable LEADER is loyal to school and to team. Your dependability exhibits itself in many ways: school attendance, getting to practice on time, knowing your assignments and a host of other things. Coaches are reluctant to play someone who cannot be depended upon regardless of their ability. You as a LEADER must be dependable and you must enlighten the coaches with those who are not, for the good of the team’s success.

  34. Just like you Responsibility to Younger Athletes The younger student athletes are watching you. They know who you are and what you do. The older upper-class athletes are role models for the young athletes that will come after you. Make them proud. Be an example. They will copy you in many ways. Do not do anything to let them down.  Set good examples for them.

  35. KNOWLEDGE • KNOW YOUR JOB – Knowledge not only gains the respect and confidence of your teammates but also gives you confidence in yourself. • The more informed, however, the better you will be able to act in any situation, which demands a decision on your part. Know what is expected of you, before you take the job…

  36. TO KNOW TEAM NORMS BELIEFS VALUES You must be aware of what your teammates are doing on and off the field

  37. Teammate Risk Factors • Teammates involved in deviant behaviors • Teammates who use drugs • Peers with low personal athletic goals related to athletic achievement, attendance • Susceptibility to negative peer influence Who is at risk?

  38. GOOD JUDGMENT 2. EXERCISE GOOD JUDGEMENT – Anyone with common sense can exercise good judgment. This good judgment should not only be exercised during the season or on the field but throughout the year. This means in the classroom, with the faculty, the student body, and your community. Being an example all the time…

  39. USE TACT HOW YOU SAY IT 3. USE TACT – This is the ability to direct people without causing ill feeling or giving offense. Individuals think differently, and act differently. Consequently to secure the best cooperation from the people, they must be dealt with accordingly. Be alert never to belittle or embarrass your teammates and do not discuss the merits of your teammates with anyone but your coaching staff.

  40. MEET WITH YOUR TEAMMATES What will I say? What must I say?

They make sure we can have the best chances to succeed, and they will help us live like athletes should... TALK THE TALK

  45. Sometimes people feel pressured to make the wrong choices. They drink beer or smoke pot because they are with other people who use those substances. We are athletes and we want a program of excellence. Those things are not part of what we are or what we do. We need to agree to these standards of behavior. WALK THE WALK

  46. Time to go PUBLIC “I am asking all of you who want to be successful this year to stand up right now with me and coach and make a commitment to being real athletes.” “This means you are committed to following the team rules and standards especially that we will not use drugs.” “We are all making this commitment together and remember our future athletes will look up to our example.” Step across the line… During the first practice of the year the team leader and coaches ask the team for a commitment.

They do not need to be told what to do or when to do it. This initiative must be taken off the field as well as on, in practice and in a game. DON'T WAIT TO BE ASKED

  49. HAVE COURAGE BE COURAGEOUS There is moral courage, and there is physical courage. Have the moral courage to stand up for your own convictions. It takes courage to deny an invitation to go out the night before a ball game, to cut a class, to skip a practice session, etc. Be firm in your stand and you will gain respect and admiration.
