ASC Electra '95: Welcome

“The will to win is over-rated in athletics, because everyone wants to win. It’s the will to PREPARE to win that makes the difference”
– Bobby Knight, Indiana Basketball Coach.

The true leaders are the ones who lead by example, not by criticism. True leaders share or take the blame when things go wrong. True leaders help build their teammates confidence by supporting and encouraging them so they feel safe to try their hardest and risk making mistakes sometimes as they grow as players. True leaders don't make criticisms, they make "suggestions" and these are done in a non-threatening way. True leaders don't tolerate teammates ganging up on other teammates. True leaders try to raise the level of play on the team by always playing their hardest - they come to practices and games ready to play and they leave social baggage behind them. True leaders raise the team morale by trying to be a positive influence on their teammates and by never giving up, never pouting, never feeling jealous of another players success, and by being quick to give credit when credit is due.
