What do you see with Effective Team Leaders?

1. Lead by example.
2. Poise under pressure.
3. Serve their teammates.
4. Vocal leader when needed.
5. One of the most committed.
6. Can challenge their teammates.
7. Address issues when they occur.
8. Connects all teammates together.

[Greg Berge @GregBerge]

How often do athletes cheer for their teammates in front of others?

Anyone can criticize.
Anyone can point out mistakes.

But it takes confidence to celebrate someone else’s success.

Great teams understand one thing:

WE > ME

📣 Cheer for your teammates.
Lead out loud.

[Avery Miramant 2027 @AveryMiramant27]

Another great team win for my high school @CHSRamsSoftball team! We are rolling and starting to put it all together as a team! One of my two hits in the game laying down a bunt to move the runners and putting the bat back in the hands of one of our senior leaders Jordan McCue to drive us in! 3-0 start to the season 🤘

An important message for parents.

Negativity at home always finds its way to the locker room.

Parents have the power to help build a positive culture…or poison it.
