Call To Lead
Called to Lead is a 6-week leadership workshop for high school teams, built from the Rooted in Greatness curriculum. Most leadership programs teach athletes what to do. This one teaches them who to become.
“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2.
Called to Lead is an interactive workshop designed for high school teams, coaches, and athletic programs who want to build a winning culture from the inside out rooted in faith, self-awareness, and Christ-centered leadership. This is not a motivational talk. This is a transformational process.
What makes this different?
Athletes are constantly evaluated on their film, stats, performance, comparison, and social media pressure. But they're almost never taught how to understand themselves without judgement, compete without fear, lead without pretending recover emotionally from mistakes, or build real confidence rooted in identity, not performance. That's what Called to Lead does.
The Foundation: Rooted in Greatness
This workshop is built from the Rooted in Greatness framework — a faith-centered approach to leadership development that teaches: The roots determine the fruit. When athletes learn to examine their character, values, thoughts, and emotions through God’s truth, everything changes:
• Team culture improves
• Communication improves
• Resilience increases
• Humility becomes natural
• Integrity becomes consistent
• Leadership becomes authentic
What Teams Will Experience Over 6 Weeks
Each week builds on the last, guiding athletes through a progression of leadership development:
1. Self-Awareness & Self-Acceptance — Leading from the inside out
2. Humility & Team-First Mentality — Becoming the teammate others trust
3. Resilience Under Pressure — Responding instead of reacting
4. Perseverance Through Process — Mental endurance during adversity
5. Integrity On and Off the Field — Consistency of character
6. Living Called to Lead — Applying it to team culture and daily life
Interactive teaching, scripture reflection, guided self-assessment, and team discussion.
