Sports Leadership Summit with Amy Long

Looking to develop your athletes into world-class leaders both on and off the playing fields?

Our highly engaging and interactive Sports Leadership Summit teaches your athletes the sports leadership skills and strategies necessary to be strong and effective leaders for your team.

Based on our work with over 30 National Championship teams at Notre Dame, Illinois, Michigan, Stanford, North Carolina, South Carolina, Arizona, Arkansas, and several others across the nation, your athletes will learn what it takes to effectively lead themselves and their teammates to championships.

The 75-minute Sports Leadership Summit is an inspiring and interactive workshop designed for the emerging and existing student-athlete leaders at the high school, junior high, or club level. The program also includes a dedicated 75-minute workshop for coaches on how best to develop, select, and partner with team captains and leaders.

The Sports Leadership Summit makes a great way to kick off a new school year and/or sport season. Further, you can reinforce and extend the lessons from the Leadership Summit through our Team Captain's Leadership Manual and provide your leaders with ongoing leadership development throughout the year.

- become an effective Leader by Example and Vocal Leader

- inspire teammates to work hard, overcome obstacles, and stay focused

- lead your team effectively under pressure, adversity, and stress

- pinpoint their specific sports leadership strengths and areas to improve
