“Leadership is extremely important. I tell every team that it's the seniors' team. If they do a good job leading, then we're going to have a great year.”

Roy Williams
North Carolina Men’s Basketball Coach

“The quality of your team leaders can make or break your season.”

Kay Yow
NC State Women’s Basketball Coach

“Having great leadership is a big key to success. Our team will go as far as our leaders are willing to take us.”

Mike Candrea
Arizona Softball / USA Softball Coach

“Leadership sets the tone for any organization. Captains and other team leaders are particularly crucial to team morale. If the leaders are positive and proactive, positive behavior usually follows.”

Tom Osborne
Former Nebraska Football Coach

“Our coaches were clear - the single most important characteristic necessary to build a winning program is leadership among the student-athletes.”

Dick Baddour
Director of Athletics, University of North Carolina

As a coach or athletic director, you know that effective team leaders are not a luxury but a vital necessity. They can make or break your season by impacting your team’s chemistry, commitment, coachability, mental toughness, and reputation on and off the field/court/track.

Rather than leaving your leaders’ development to chance, why not provide them with the critical insights, strategies, and skills necessary to be effective with the Janssen Sports Leadership Center’s proven leadership development programs and resources?

WHAT UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN STUDENT-ATHLETES ARE SAYING...

The workshop really opened my eyes about what leadership is supposed to be like on your team, in the classroom, and anywhere else. I thought that this was the best workshop.

Very insightful. Very high tempo and exciting to listen to. I used the examples to evaluate my strengths and weaknesses as a leader and person in general. It was great!

Being a sophomore, this was a very helpful workshop for me that gave me a better understanding of what it means to be a leader and ideas for being a future captain.

I loved everything about the program! Jeff was incredible! Thank you so much for coming and sharing your knowledge with us. It was immensely helpful and I feel we will all benefit because of it.

WHAT UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN COACHES ARE SAYING...

This workshop gave me the chance to think about my leadership skills, evaluate our captains, and gain ideas to improve. The program reinforced the importance of frequent communication with my captains and emphasized my responsibility to mentor my leaders. It was great. Thank you!

This was by far the best and most useful workshop for college coaches that we have had to date!

Jeff’s program was very practical and helpful. I’m leaving with some specific ideas that I will implement. I thought the program was excellent.

I really enjoyed the fact that Jeff met with the athletes before meeting with us. Captains and coaches must use the same ideas to work together.
