Locust Valley High School varsity athletes returned to practice in late August to get back into game shape, but on Aug. 30, they took part in a leadership workshop with the Lead ‘Em Up organization to mentally prepare themselves for the season.
All 14 fall varsity sports teams and their coaches listened in the high school auditorium as a speaker from Lead ‘Em Up explained how to sharpen their leadership skills by being a positive influence on their teammates in practice and games.
The Lead’ Em Up organization engages coaches and students in youth, high school and college sports all over the country, and provides in-person and online leadership and communication exercises to develop players into leaders.
Each Locust Valley coach had teammates pair up to push each other to be great throughout the season. Win or lose, the Falcons will be maturing and learning in every practice and game.
