Leadership is the cornerstone of the MCAA program, and this theme is carried throughout all our courses. Using what you have already covered in class, discuss the general requirements needed to be an effective sports leader and then specifically identify the characteristics needed and the challenges presented in a sports leadership role. It will be important to research what a leader is, citing examples first in the non-sports world and then in the specific sports leadership role you have undertaken, i.e. Athletic Director, Coach, academic advisor to student-athletes, or another role that you have observed. As you identify a specific sports leadership role, please include not only the characteristics and duties but also the challenges that will need to be met and how you will meet those challenges. Your Personal Philosophy of Leadership Summary should reflect your authentic beliefs about what it means to be an effective leader. Please conclude your summary with your definition of leadership.
