So you want to be a better leader. Or you want better leaders on your team (or both). Unfortunately, there are limited resources available to sport coaches on how to accomplish these valuable pursuits. You and your team leaders deserve better.
You deserve The Leadership Fix Game Plan (LFGP). The LFGP boasts four systems and eight sets of "plays," all specific to learning and developing authentic leadership, while establishing a culture of leadership, team collaboration, and accountability throughout your team.
As a professor, expert leadership educator, and long-time consultant to top college teams and Olympians, Dr. Mike Voight has created a do-it-yourself leadership system based on his 20-year consulting career, combined with the evidence-based tools and practices from business-leadership coaching applied to sport.
In these pages, you’ll discover:
- How to better understand, teach, and develop personal and situational leadership in the sport setting (System 1)
- Ways to integrate personal experiences, group discussions, and formal leadership concepts and practices to develop genuine leaders (System 2)
- Methods of providing leadership opportunities so team leaders can practice being impactful leaders while receiving mentoring and critical follow-up (System 3)
- How to transform players into team leaders through more responsibility and advanced roles (System 4)
- How to implement the sample LFGP templates for any competitive level
- If you truly want to develop into a better leader and develop better leaders on your team, this book will be the catalyst you have been looking for. Read, learn, and lead the LFGP DIY-way.

I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Dr. V for over 25 years, I consider him a trusted friend and admire all his efforts to create an environment in athletics that focuses on leadership and character. Now, more than ever, we need this to be a focal point of athletic programs, for coaches as well as athletes. In The Leadership Fix Game Plan for Sport, he lays out an easy-to-follow and highly effective way for coaches to deliver the importance of leadership on and off the playing fields. I strongly encourage athletic administrators at every level to make this book a must read for coaches in their programs.

I have watched the evolution of Michael Voight's career from a very successful college coach to a mental performance practitioner. What makes this book, The Leadership Fix Game Plan for Sport, different is the practical application for the reader. Michael has done it and explains in an easy-to understand manner how coaches can get the most out of their team. I think highly of him as a mental skills/leadership consultant. So highly in fact, I asked him to contribute an article to the United Soccer Coaches Association's Soccer Journal in every issue, appropriately called, THE MENTAL. He offers tips to over 35,000 soccer coaches from all over the world. Enjoy!

There is a critical gap in the development of the next generation of leaders. Dr. Voight's Leadership Fix Game Plan framework provides a formula for coaches and players to systematically address that gap and drive lasting change. The tools, lessons, and process he outlines in this book will serve as a valuable leadership development resource for coaches and players in their pursuit of excellence on the field and in life.
