This is our most important mission in sport. It’s WHY we coach, play, train, and compete. Leadership and character development is more important now than ever before in sport. Too much of the influences in youth sport run counter to the very lessons we wish to teach.

Pretty sure Pavel didn’t mean victory is best achieved by assembling “elite” second graders onto an all-star team that costs so much it prices most families out of the competition... #youthsports #hockey #feltboots

Ultimate leadership requires leaders to be humble, hardworking, inclusive, and determined. The leadership of Edina Ultimate certainly reflected those important traits in our gym training sessions. Train Hard. Lead Well. Live Fortis.

Our quick-hit leadership and character development lessons are an essential part to our Complete Athlete program. Sports leadership is not intuitive - at least for most of us. We have to work at it and think about it. Fortis Leaders

One of our most impactful seminars is our athlete seminar where we spend an hour identifying team leadership challenges and brainstorming actionable and specific leadership. #leadership #fortisleaders

As parents, we need to actively engage our athletes in helping them understand how to respond to leadership challenges. It is common for athletes to vent about team issues. Our job as parents is to guide them toward solutions and to refrain from unhelpful negativity.

A "state of mind" can be very fleeting. Motivation can easily fade. We need to rely on discipline and a rock solid character to continue on through adversity in sport.

As coaches, we can get overly concerned about tactics and strategy. How often are we checking in individually with our athletes? When we meet with our athletes we improve trust, find areas of confusion that need to be addressed, and spot problems before they fester too longer.

As coaches, parents, and administrators of youth sports programming, we need to be careful to not overemphasize external rewards for performance, in particular at the younger ages. Let's build intrinsic motivation instead!

As coaches we want to, as much as possible, create drills and training environments that teach the athletes - rather than us constantly trying to correct errors. Create a drill that teaches implicitly and retention and game-transfer will increase substantially.

To develop resilient athletes we need to let them fail. And we need to let it not always be fair that our athletes haven't measured up. Battling through adversity that doesn't seem fair or right helps build resilient athletes.

Play multiple sports to increase long-term athletic development potential. We need to resist the temptation to specialize early at the expense of long-term athletic development. #fortisleaders

One of our favorite parts to our Fortis Leaders program is our athlete leadership seminars. In these seminars we get to work with athletes on identifying the leadership challenges their teams face and how they can take ownership to help solve those issues.
