Bring Out The Natural Leadership In Your Child

Your Child Is Already a Leader

What is a Leader?  

Every parent wants his or her child to be a leader.  You have visions of them running a giant corporation of being a world famous player on the world stage.  That is what you want.  But how do you help your child develop the leadership skills you believe he or she should have?

We start by understanding what it means to be a leader.  A leader is not someone who bosses people around.  What is leadership? What does a leader really provide for his or her followers? All the information we need is on the internet, in the library, on cassettes or videos. We can find step by step guidelines to do just about anything we want to do. So why do we need leaders?

Leaders are the keepers of our permitteds. What are permitteds and what do they matter in our lives?

Who in this culture tells us what is okay to do?  Where do we get our cues as to what is permissible and what is not?  Don't we get them from the athletes who live among us?

An athlete is an entertainer. No matter how talented, if people do not come to see an athlete, the team will go broke. An entertainer is someone who is paid according to the number of people who want to watch him or her. That means that your job as a n athlete is to be entertaining, to be worth watching, to be watchable.

As a member of any youth soccer or youth sports activity, your child is an entertainer.  Athletes, people are looking at you. Popular athletes command more money because people not only see you on the playing field or court, they see you in commercials, in personal appearance. 

Every day you should tell your child, "You are already a leader in your world. You are a unique being, with your own unique set of education, experience, lifestyle, goals, dreams and hopes. You are infinitely talented. You have many potentials, though they may not have been tapped. 

You are held back by old tapes, fears or constraints of the environment which you are living. Perhaps no one has shared with you the Truth of your being. Maybe no one has ever told you who and what you are.  You are a leader!"

Your soccer athlete will be looked at as a professional athletes who gains self esteem by "being seen" by fellow students, the things he or she does while being seen are things others will imitate. Your athlete will be performing as a  "being seen leader" and is automatically telling others, especially the young, what is "okay to do" or what they are permitted to do. Every word you say, every act you do, every look you give, is giving someone "permission" to act. As an athlete, you are already a leader.

Leaders Give Us Our Permitteds

Leaders give us our permitteds. They enable us to actually perform what our bodes and minds know how to do.  Many youth athletes have talent, but unless their self esteem is high enough, those athletes will not give peak performance in their games. 

The purpose of the coach is to give permission to succeed.  The coach is the number one holder of "Permitteds" or permission to perform.  But your youngster can become a leader by building self esteem in other, saying self esteem building words and giving support.  He can demonstrate what you do when someone makes  a mistake.  Your child can serve as a model of true soccer decorum. Don't neglect to tell his of your responsibilities as a leader.  Help him or her see that he or she is now at a different level in their lives and everything they do will be imitated by others.

Your child can be the leader who helps other kids to achieve peak performance. By his or her behavior they can enable others to do what the other kids already know how to They can give them permission to perform. They can tell us them it is okay to do what we know how to do. They can tell them what we can do and still belong to the group. As a leader, your child will enable the team to perform better and succeed more.
