| Abstract: |
Sport plays a crucial role in personal and collective development, reflecting core values and serving as a platform for holistic growth. As athletics, especially intercollegiate sports, face increasing pressures and challenges, the need for leadership training and character development has become more critical than ever. This article emphasizes the importance of empowering student--athletes and rethinking leadership training to adapt to the evolving sports landscape. Recommendations are provided to help coaches, administrators, and athletic departments harness the transformative power of sport to develop critical leadership and life skills in young athletes. |
