“Go to the People. Live among them; love them; learn from them. Start from where they are; work with them; build on what they have. But with the best leaders, when the task is accomplished, the work completed, the people all remark: ‘We have done it ourselves.’” – Anonymous
True leadership is humbly seeking and serving the needs of others before your own. A leader is inspired by the desire to see that others develop holistically and works in partnership with those around them to build a sense of community and ownership. A leader is influential. A good leader requires character, commitment, discipline and intentionality.
“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to unite in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination.”
-Nelson Mandela
