Instructions

    • 1

      Take responsibility for your actions! This is a big step. If you make a mistake or mess up, take the consequences and move forward.

    • 2

      Lead by actions, not words. Anyone can talk like they are a leader, but actions speak much louder than words.

    • 3

      Do the little things in practice that show you are really trying--like touch every line in wind sprints. This shows the coaches and the players you are passionate about what you are doing.

    • 4

      Do more. Do a little extra or more than is expected. Run farther, stay longer, try harder than the next guy.

    • 5

      Take charge. Start practice on time, even if the coaches are still getting ready.
