Any quality leadership program as well as being founded in self-awareness, maps to a quality leadership model and there are lots of leadership models out there.

In addressing the leadership challenge, the fundamental question was what type of inclusions do you put in a quality leadership development program?
Vince Lombardi was once quoted as saying: “Only by knowing yourself, can you be an effective leader.” It really does come down to leadership programs being founded in what we’d call self-awareness. That is, the level of knowledge an athlete has about their strengths, their limitations, their motivations, the type of environment that they respond well to and the type of coaching that they respond well too.

A Personal Insight into David Zelenock’s Volleyball Program
Would you take on the challenge of turning around a team that has placed last in its conference three years in a row? Turning a team around is no easy task, yet just two years into his tenure, first-time Head Coach David Zelenock took Tennessee Tech’s Volleyball Program from 12th into the top four. We asked Coach Zelenock what has been key to this transformation.
This book comes highly recommended from the whole team at Athlete Assessments.
