Leadership

USASF Leadership Facilitators bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and enthusiasm for teaching others to tap into their own personal leadership style. Our core vision is to empower those in attendance to find their personal leadership and communication style and create a path for transforming and leading those within their circle of influence.

Each Leadership Workshop will have Core Staff. Additional Leadership Regional Facilitators will be added based on registrations and location.

Values in Action (formerly Project Love)

Partnering with Values-in-Action Foundation, our goal is to stop bullying before it starts by empowering athletes to always lead with kindness, caring and respect. Instilling a sense of empathy and understanding for others shapes a positive culture in programs, schools and communities.

Be Kind® STICK TOGETHER® is a free, character education program offered by the USASF, Project Love and Duck Tape® in an effort to provide a fun and different way to explore the important social-emotional learning concepts of kindness and sticking together to combat bullying and negative behaviors. Using a combination of tools, the program mixes large group discussion, video elements, hands-on activities and a writing exercise to keep athletes interested and engaged. The lesson culminates with the athletes pledging to “stick together” as they write their individual names on pieces of Duck Tape® and post them on a poster provided in their membership box. This poster can hold the pledges/names of up to 150-200 athletes. After the program, the banner would be displayed prominently in facilities as a constant reminder to be kind, caring and respectful to others.
