Ready to level up your game?!
Step into the power of your leadership,
by consistently showing up as the type of player and person you want to be known as
First, how to be a good leader in soccer is to lead YOURSELF well. Do this by being invested in your own growth and development – and bring that investment into EVERYTHING you do. By showing your teammates that THIS is how you show up, THIS is how you get stuff done, you are setting a standard of excellence and asking them to the rise up and meet you where you are at. This elevates the level of the entire team, this is leading by example.
Second, lead from everywhere. What this means is that leadership isn’t something that is only allotted to people whom have been given the title of captain, it means leadership is something that lives within all of us. And the more of us that step up and start leading from where we are, the stronger the collective will be.
Leadership is not a position to earn, it’s an inherent power to claim. And if you’re not a leader on the bench, don’t call yourself a leader on the field. You’re either a leader from everywhere or nowhere.” Abby Wambach, Wolfpack.
