1. Lead Warm-Ups

Don’t wait for someone to take charge. Step up and lead your group through dynamic stretches and warm-ups. This shows initiative and sets the tone for a focused session.

2. Show Confidence by Calling for the Ball

Being vocal on the field is key. Call for the ball clearly and with purpose. Whether you’re in space or making a run, let your teammates know you’re available and ready to contribute.

3. Communicate Constantly

Great leaders are great communicators. Keep your teammates informed by directing traffic, offering encouragement, and organizing defensive or offensive plays. Coaches notice players who make their team better through effective communication.

4. Step Up for Set Pieces

When the opportunity arises, volunteer to take penalties, free kicks, or corners. Even if you’re not the designated taker, showing confidence to step into high-pressure situations highlights your composure and determination.

5. Encourage and Uplift Your Teammates

Leadership isn’t just about giving directions—it’s also about being a positive force. Clap for good plays, pick up teammates after mistakes, and keep the energy high. Your attitude can set the standard for the entire group.

6. Work Hard Off the Ball

Leaders don’t wait for the spotlight. Track back, make recovery runs, and be relentless in your effort. Coaches value players who set an example through their work rate.

Final Thought

Standing out at ID camps and showcases isn’t just about how many goals you score or assists you make. It’s about showing that you can lead, inspire, and improve a team. Coaches are always on the lookout for players who can step into leadership roles at the collegiate level.

Use these tips to not only showcase your skills but also your ability to be the heartbeat of a team.
