National team pipeline. College placement leaders.

That’s the VDA standard. 👏🏼

Wise words

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Kobe Bryant shares a truth about leadership most people avoid.

"Leadership is lonely."

"If you're going to be a leader, you're not going to please everybody. You've got to hold people accountable."

Leadership isn't about being liked. It's about serving others, holding standards, and having the courage to do what's right even when it's uncomfortable.

The best leaders master these six skills:
1. Accountability - Leaders set the standard and embody it.
2. Connection - It starts with caring. You need relationships to establish trust. People won't follow until they know you and what you stand for.
3. Communication - What you say, how you say it, and when you say it.
4. Adaptability - People resist change. Your job is to navigate it with resilience. How you communicate and behave will either inspire adaptation or cause resistance.
5. Development - Great leaders develop more leaders. It means believing in people's potential.
6. Character - The foundation. Integrity, honesty, doing the right thing when it's hard. Leaders with character earn respect because they act in alignment with their values.

True leadership isn't about being liked. It's about doing what's right.

I am so excited and beyond grateful to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at The Ohio State University! First, I want to thank my parents for their endless love, support, and sacrifices they've made throughout the years. All the countless hours spent helping me reach my goal. I wouldn't be here without you. Thank you to Coach Bobby, Coach Alex, Coach Matt, and the entire @vdasoccer program for helping me be the players I am today. Also, a big thank you to Coach Mikey and Coach Fro for always pushing me to be the best player and person I can be.
