In this unique learning journey, you will go through lectures, weekly live meetings, and numerous case studies that will enrich your learning.
Strong leadership begins with self-awareness. In this module, you’ll explore how your mindset, emotional habits, and personal values shape the way you lead — especially under pressure. You’ll learn to manage your energy, focus, and reactions to become a more grounded and intentional leader.
In elite sport, how you communicate can carry more weight than what you say. This module focuses on refining your voice as a leader — from strategic clarity to emotional connection — so you can build trust, defuse tension, and inspire action.
Leading in modern sport requires navigating multiple disciplines, roles, and perspectives. This module will help you foster cohesion, unity and trust across departments — from coaching and medical to commercial and ownership — even when interests differ.
Sustained success in sport depends on adaptability. This module equips you to lead change — whether strategic, structural, or cultural — and to create the conditions and -mindset- within your team or organization.
This closing module brings the focus to long-term influence: how leaders embed values, expectations, and habits that define a team’s culture — and how they leave behind something bigger than results.
