Leadership (Communication, Commitment, Attitude)
A good team will only go as far as its leadership takes them. Dedicated teams, when led by great leaders, can accomplish uncommon goals. Finding your voice as a leader can be difficult. What do you say? How do you say it? Sometimes being a leader also means understanding your role on the team and leading in your own way. Everyone must be a leader on a team!

Everyone in the world has had to deal with challenges in their lives. Challenges do not define, but our reactions to them do. When you fall do you get back up? When you lose do you go back to work? Elite players set a positive attitude and tone for themselves and their teammates. Are you tough or not?
