Quotes on the importance of leadership in sports:

Our coaches believe the single most important characteristic necessary to build a winning program is leadership among the student-athletes. - Dick Baddour UNC Athletic director


“Not one time in 35 years did I witness a team become a champion without great leadership coming from within the team. It was players leading players. - Dave Hart


“We lost due to a lack of good leaders on the field” - Nick Saban after loss vs Ohio State in the national championship game


“The defining characteristic of every championship team is leadership. Leadership isn’t a different maker, it is the difference maker. Talent will get you about 7 or 8 wins. Discipline pushes it to 9 wins maybe. But when you add leadership, that’s when the magic happens”- ​​​​​​​ Urban Meyer
