Tribe "EPIC ELITE" Leadership Training

This athletic leadership development system is based on the series of books entitled Habitudes®: Images that Form Leadership Habits and Attitudes, written by Dr. Tim Elmore, President of Growing Leaders. Because of the universal values this series helps to impart, athletic programs across the country have used Habitudes for athletic departments to help develop character and promote student-athlete leadership. What makes these tools so powerful is the research-based sports leadership training methods which use distinct images, conversations, and experiences to teach timeless life and sports leadership skills in an engaging, memorable way. Each season contains a variety of resources to help you implement an athletic leadership training environment, including video sessions with Dr. Tim Elmore, in-depth Coach’s Guides that provide exercises and activities for practical application, and a Facilitator Training video that teaches you how to effectively conduct engaging student-athlete leadership training with your this new generation of athletes.

IN SHORT, Our "EPIC ELITE" Training Series will help athletes:

• Transform a group of individual athletes into a unified force.
• Create teams of athletes who build trust with each other and their coaches.
• Create language to talk about real life issues in a safe and authentic way.
• Build teams where every athlete thinks and acts like a leader.
• Build athletes who make wise decisions that keep them in competition and out of trouble.
• Develop resilience, EQ, and leadership perspective in athletes

For years, Dr. Tim Elmore has been teaching and writing that students today are from an EPIC generation. Dr. Leonard Sweet is the first person to suggest this, and it isn’t merely because students today love the word “epic.” It’s because the letters of that word aptly describe who they are and how they best learn.  So, Tribe Elite Athletics is committed on reaching our Student-Athletes to create leadership qualities using this amazing instructional approach.

E – Experiential

Students today love to learn from experiences. They are not looking for a sage on the stage…with a lecture. They’re looking for a guide on the side with an experience.

P – Participatory

This means they’ve been conditioned to participate in the outcomes of almost everything in their life.

I – Image rich

Young people today have grown up in a world filled with images.

C – Connected

Finally, students today are connected—both technologically and socially. So, the more we can provide opportunities to “stop the lecture” and let them connect with each other and talk, the better chance we have of reaching them.
