Sample Student-Athlete Leadership Initiative
Share This Resource
Pennsylvania's Abington Heights School District developed this guide for training its student-athletes in leadership. Pamela Murray, principal of Abington Heights High School, devised the program, which is rooted in PCA's Triple-Impact Competitor® training and PCA Founder Jim Thompson's book, Elevating Your Game: Becoming a Triple-Impact Competitor.
The guide contains an explanation of its purpose and provides advice to adult leadership in a school or youth sports organization on how to stage training. It also specifies anticipated outcomes in terms of leadership behavior to be exhibited by the student-athlete trainees.
