February Education: Developing Leadership in Players

As we finally leave the long winter behind (turns out that groundhog knew what it was talking about!) and get back on the field, our coaches will be reviewing the club curriculum, creating activities, and writing up their practice plans to take to the field and get their teams ready for upcoming games and events. Developing better dribbling skills, improving control in receiving, and perfecting killer passes which lead to creative scoring chances will be a part of the key objectives. However, it shouldn’t be the only objective.

Our Kings Hammer CORE Values exemplify the off-field characteristics that can and should be a part of the learning that our players need: Respect, Creativity, Passion, Integrity, and Leadership.

Developing Leadership in Our Players: A Guide for Coaches and Parents

One of the most important lessons that can be imparted through youth soccer is leadership. Leadership goes beyond the ability to direct another person (or player) in what to do or how to perform. There are a number of traits, beliefs, and actions that all combine to create a good leader. Parents and coaches play crucial roles in nurturing leadership qualities in young players. Here are some strategies to help develop leadership in our Kings Hammer players:

1. Mentoring and Role Modeling

Young athletes often look up to their coaches and parents as role models. Coaches should demonstrate positive leadership behaviors, such as effective communication, empathy, and integrity. Parents can reinforce these traits by discussing the importance of these qualities and highlighting examples from their own lives or from well-known leaders in sports and other fields.

2. Encouraging Initiative
