The Impact of The Team Captain's Leadership Manual on Amanda Waugh, former Central Michigan women's soccer captain and MAC Champion:
My sophomore year is now done and I just finished the Captain's Manual (and most of the activities in it) and I am absolutely amazed. It turned out to be easily the best book of its type I've ever read.
My relationship with my coaches has never been better, and I have never been more passionate or dedicated to something (leadership) in my life. I am truly inspired to first change my team, and then later in life, change the world. I respect immensely that you are doing just that; changing the world and helping out so many people by sharing your brilliant insight.
I had to jump at the opportunity to let you know how much you have made a difference in me. I now have all the tools I need to be the best captain I can be for my team next fall and I'm hoping that my team will be a better program thanks to you. I will take these lessons with me beyond the soccer field and will probably always communicate better with people in general having read your book.
I had a 3.4 G.P.A. in the fall semester (one of the lowest on my team) but during the spring, as I was reading your book and meeting with my coaches and just striving to BE BETTER in my second semester, I'm proud to let you know that I ended up with a 4.0 after that semester. I was working harder in all areas of my life while reading your book, and will now continue to do so having read it.
I loved the Teammate Mental Game Assessment. It took me nearly 4 hours to complete but it made me feel like I understood each of my teammates so much better and know how to get through to them effectively now.
Next fall will be very difficult for me as leadership is going to be CRUCIAL: we have TWELVE freshman coming in (they will make up almost 50% of our team)! It will take a lot of great leadership to make sure they go through the transition smoothly, and that our team chemistry stays strong. I am SOOO glad that I read your book beforehand so that I am better prepared to lead all these newcomers.
I also really liked the Commitment Contract and am going to do that with my team in our preseason this August. In the past, we have established rules and goals but it is difficult to ensure EVERYONE is committed to them and I think by doing this it will make sure we are all on the same page. Plus, I also agree that it will then make it SO much easier to confront people who stray from it (because I HATE doing that!) I am COMPLETELY an encourager and need to work on my enforcing. I also tend to be a "Teddy Bear". I'm going to aim to care less about popularity and more about respect.
Know that I am grateful for you and think your book and all your online resources are absolutely unbelievable. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Sincerely,
Amanda Waugh
A Changed Captain
