ONLINE LEADERSHIP COURSE

The Center for Sports Leadership & Innovation has created a nine session online team leadership course. We take concepts that Daron K. Roberts teaches UT student-athletes in Gameplan for Winning at Life, and break them down into highly engaging videos, activities and discussions. Each session contains a 5-15 minute introduction video, self-guided activities, quizzes, and bonus online materials. Each student receives a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

The numbers speak for themselves. Most high school student-athletes don’t go on to be collegiate or professional athletes.

All students, however, go on to be citizens.

So how can we best serve all our kids to ensure that they leave our athletic program with a foundation that will serve in whatever endeavors they pursue?

LESSONS

LESSON 1

THE PURPOSE TRAP: FINDING WHY

Expand

12:23

PREVIEW

This thing we call “purpose” or “passion” is murky, so we are going to shift to your “WHY.” We want to find a way to focus our energies on finding what our WHY is. We all know what we do, we all know how we do it, but when it comes down to it, do we know WHY we do things?

LESSON 2

GROWTH MINDSET: BUILD NOT BORN

Expand

13:17

PREVIEW

Growth mindset is the belief that you can change or alter your intelligence and abilities. The opposite of growth mindset is fixed mindset which says my abilities and intelligence are set in stone. Everyone has some combination of both fixed and growth mindset beliefs based on what they are doing.

LESSON 3

GOAL-SETTING: BUILD YOUR SYSTEMS

Expand

10:05

PREVIEW

They say that “a goal without a plan is just a wish.” President John F. Kennedy knew this when he made one of the boldest claims in human history on May 25, 1961. President Kennedy said that the United States would safely put a man on the moon by the end of the decade.

LESSON 4

MINDFULNESS: BUILD YOUR MIND

Expand

16:29

PREVIEW

Mindfulness is a way of experiencing the world in which we can be completely present, and learn to act instead of react. Humans are often controlled by their impulsive, immediate reactions to the world around them, so much so that they don’t have choice. If we learn to slow down and separate what is going on from how we respond, then we become more powerful.

LESSON 5

EMPATHY: BUILD YOUR CONNECTION

Expand

5:27

PREVIEW

Leadership at its heart is about creating a trusting connection with a group of people, so much so that they want to follow you. The first step to creating this connection on your team is working hard to understand them!

LESSON 6

VULNERABILITY: BUILD TRUST

Expand

9:39

PREVIEW

The word trust comes from the Old Norse root word traust, which means “strength or to make strong.” With that in mind, giving our trust to someone -- while often making us feel weak or exposed -- is a sign of strength.

LESSON 7

CORE VALUES: BUILD YOUR LEGACY

Expand

9:36

PREVIEW

Core values are a set of fundamental beliefs. Barbara Jordan, the first African- American woman from the South to be elected into the House of Representatives, put it simply: “Define what is right and then do it.” As a team and as an individual, do you have a set of beliefs you believe to be right that you act on everyday? Have you defined those core values and do you consistently live them out?

LESSON 8

CULTURE: BUILD YOUR IDENTITY

Expand

8:49

PREVIEW

Culture is the collective identity of a team. Is our own identity and ambition aligned with what the team represents. A disconnect in culture leads to a disconnect in production.

LESSON 9

DIGITAL RESPONSIBILITY: BUILD YOUR BRAND

Expand

6:47

PREVIEW

Believe it or not, social media can be used for more than just viral videos and hilarious memes. When used properly, social media is a tool that can help propel you professionally and socially.
