Becoming a leader is synonymous with becoming
yourself. It is precisely that simple, and it is
also that difficult.

Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If
you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as
you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it.
Players will see right through a phony. And they can
tell when you're not giving it all you've got.
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the
crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's
being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's
the only way you're going to get respect from the
players.

leader is a dealer in hope.
