Powerful things happen when we ask God for directions instead of telling him where we'd like to go.

Let’s take a minute to showcase something:

In athletics, you hear a lot about freshmen grab this, underclassman get that. That’s a 5th year starting catcher with a bucket over her shoulder.

You are never bigger or better than the family, UNDERSTAND THAT.

It’s a mindset.

If you want to build a winning team, you must value all team members for who they are, not just what they do.

You have to remind yourself that under each uniform or business suit is a person who has challenges, personal issues, pain, hurt and human wants and needs. Every person, no matter how successful, wants to be appreciated, respected, and valued. Everyone wants to feel cared about. Everyone, ultimately, wants to be loved.

The Best Coaches Know Player-Led Teams Win.

Unfortunately, we also know that poor player leadership can destroy a team.

Here are 10 Common Mistakes Team Leaders Make:

1: They do not Lead by Example
The first step to leadership is to lead by example. When not done, credibility disappears. If you cannot lead yourself, who will want to follow you?

2: Positional Leadership Mindset.
Being named a “Captain“ only means you have a title. It does not mean you are a Leader.  It does not mean people have to follow you. Don’t think that your job is over when you earn this position.

It is just beginning. Leadership is earned. Every Day.

3: Gossip
As a leader, you are responsible for leading ALL players on your team. Don’t be a gossip. You will lose the credibility of your teammates. You will lose the trust of your teammates. If he gossips about them, will he gossip about me?

4: Lack of Follow-Through
Leadership is about trust. Can your teammates trust you to do what you say? Actions always speak louder than words.

- You must follow through.
- You must do what you say.
- You must earn Trust.

5: Inconsistent Leadership
As a leader, you don’t get to choose the times you want to lead. Leadership is a lifestyle. You cannot lead only during practice or only during the in-season. Consistent leadership creates Confidence in your team.

6: Fixed Mindset
Team leaders cannot have a “fixed” mindset. They must have a “growth” mindset. Leaders have to believe that the team/individual can improve and grow each day.

7: Not Confronting Issues
Leaders need to be junior firefighters. They have to put out the small fires that happen behind the scenes. They must uphold the standards and culture of the team. If not, the small fires can turn into an inferno for the team.

8: Failure to hold others accountable
Accountability is hard for team leaders. Accountability is necessary for successful TEAMS. Do the right thing. Even if it is hard.

9: Trying to Make Everyone Happy.
If you are trying to make others happy, you will:

- Not earn the respect of your team
- Always be stressed
- Fail

Act on principle, standards, and integrity. Have confidence you are making the right decision for your team.

10: Not being a Gatekeeper of the Culture
Finally, team leaders are the gatekeepers of the TEAM and PROGRAM Culture.

- Culture is what you allow
- Culture is what you emphasize
- Culture is every day.

Failure to be a Gatekeeper of the team culture erodes a Team and a Program.

Accountability.

“You got to do your job - if you’re not, I’m going to say something to you. If you’re too cool, don’t be in the game. It shouldn’t come from the coach. A team that’s empowered becomes that kind of team.”

Give back generously.
Shake peoples' hands.
Have a positive attitude.

Thank people for their work.
Help without any expectation.

Some things will never go out of style.

Amen!

[Brett Bartholomew @Coach_BrettB]

This is spot on.

Leadership is a messy, lonely, full-contact sport.

A complex social process that involves imperfect people guiding other imperfect people through the gray area.

It’s not one size fits all.

[Lisa Carter @LisaJay16]

It’s crazy to think it’s already April and starting our second round of District play. Over the last month, these ladies have earned the honor of receiving the AXE. Attitude, effort, and being a great teammate have never wavered with these ladies. We are so PROUD! #AOATT 🥎
