Becoming an Effective Leader and Self-Advocating Athlete with the Elite Mentality System
Effective leadership isn’t just about being the loudest voice on the team—it’s about setting the standard through actions, mindset, and communication. Using the Elite Mentality System, athletes will learn how to develop the confidence, self-awareness, and communication skills necessary to become an effective leader and strong self-advocate in their sport.
Athletes will start by defining their personal leadership style, understanding that effective leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all.

Through self-reflection and journaling exercises, athletes will identify their core values and learn how to align their behaviors with the type of leader they want to be.
In addition to effective leadership, athletes will develop self-advocacy skills, learning how to communicate confidently with coaches, ask for feedback, and take ownership of their growth. Many athletes struggle with speaking up in high-pressure environments, but through targeted exercises, they will practice voicing their needs, expressing their goals, and handling tough conversations with confidence.
By the end of the program, athletes will not only carry themselves as leaders but also have the ability to stand up for themselves, communicate effectively, and take control of their athletic journey. Whether it’s inspiring a team, earning more opportunities, or making an impact beyond sports, they will have the skills to lead with confidence and advocate for their success.
