Team captains and leadership team members, in an effort to be more effective, are struggling to find tools that resonate with their experiences and can provide insight into how they lead with their strengths.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some may say that leadership is a skill that we are born with. We either have it or we don\u2019t. At Captain\u2019s University, we believe that each person has the capability to learn to be a leader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0We believe that leadership is more than an armband. It\u2019s about building confident and effective team leaders during sport and beyond. From a study by Deloitte, 94% of female C-suite leaders played sports &#8211; illustrating the link that sports experiences have on our lives outside of the playing field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Captain\u2019s University offers a research-backed leadership assessment and tailored courses designed to empower your captains and student-athletes.
