Developing leaders on a team takes vision, perspective, and practice. At Sport Fuels Life, we recognize the potential great leaders have to generate a team’s positive results. In order to help build the best leaders on your team, we are sharing a team leadership activity that one of our coaches has used successfully. It can be done in a group or individually.

Leadership involves others. It sets the direction and tone for a team or group to achieve the same goal. How can you win as a team if you are not all on board and committed to the same goal?
The beauty of a team is everyone brings different strengths and weaknesses to the table. Find a time to share answers among your team to learn more about one another, zero in on that unified team goal, and develop an action plan. And be sure it includes a huge emphasis on fun!
