To Become Leaders, Sports Kids Should Lean into Their Talents

The skill of being a leader is partly innate, but is mostly trainable, according to leadership coach Jonathan Cave, author of The Tree and the Mountain: Dare to Become.

To hone their leadership skills, sports kids should identify their unique talents and build leadership skills based on them, he said.

“You don’t have to become another person to be a leader. It’s about amplifying who you are and becoming more of that. People will gravitate toward you,” he said.
