Create a Student Leadership Program
|
As spring approaches, it's a great time to lay the groundwork for any new initiatives you want to introduce to your team next year. Offering leadership opportunities on your team facilitates peer coaching and mentorship, positively influences team culture, fosters leadership qualities in students, and inspires the next generation of coaches. Plus, it can help you offload some coaching or admin responsibilities. Upon completion of our free NSDA Learn course, you will be able to:
|
|
|
- Build a student leadership model that fits your team.
- Attract, interview, select, and onboard student leaders.
- Train leaders to run practices and bootcamps independently.
