Courage

Explain the following quote as it pertains to sacrifice and leadership: "the heart of good leadership is sacrifice."

To be a true leader you must have sacrifice. If a leader has a heart that is full of the ability to sacrifice he will make a great leader.

In what ways do you display courage to those whom you influence?

I display courage to those whom I influence by voicing our team’s opinion to our coach. On my club team we have an Isralian coach and he can be pretty intimidating. You will not see a lot of girls tell him what they think. As captain I have the responsibility to have the courage to pass information from the players to the coach. I stand up for our team, but I remain respectful.

What does courage have to do with leadership?

Courage is one of the prime characteristics of leadership. It is like a cake mix. You need all the ingredients of a cake to make it flawless. Courage is like the sugar it is a main ingredient to make the rest of it work.
