Sports+and+Leadership

=Sports and Leadership.=

What do people learn from different sports that help them in different leadership roles in real life? What sports make the best Presidents? Military Officers? Business Leaders? Teachers? Read this article about President Obama's switch from playing basketball to playing golf... and the consequences the author thinks the switch has had on his presidency. (From the Cleveland Plain Dealer Forum Section Sunday, November 16th, 2014... you can see the article by visiting the iPD site)



What do you think people learn about life from sports? I was a wrestler and a soccer player (and now coach both). What do those have to do with my style of teaching? What do you play? What do you want to do? (Besides playing sports professionally) How do your sports relate? Who do you most admire as a person?

Maybe sports aren't necessary... you can write about the influence the arts: music, art, drama, etc have on leadership.

This discussion will run until Sunday, November 23rd, 2014

ps- Abe Lincoln's favorite sport was wrestling.
