Leadership: Renee Montgomery
I have been exploring Leadership a great deal recently. We’ve looked at how important it is to get your player’s view of their own leadership, who they are and how it all fits together.
I have ben fortunate to coach many players with tremendous leadership ability. We are all fortunate to have the opportunity to coach against other players and witness their ability to lead. One of the premier young point guards in the World currently is Renee Montgomery. I was on the receiving end of two of her masterpieces while she was developing her leadership skills that enabled
Renee Montgomery
UConn to eventually complete a perfect 39-0 season and win a National Championship during her senior year. It was in her sophomore and junior years, two “not so close” wins were over us while I was at Virginia. (12/5/07: 75-45 and 12/18/06: 96-60) She was tremendous on the court, but she also showed great leadership when she went to the sideline as well. Even though the game was never in question she continued to lead. That stuck in my mind, impressed me.
As the fourth overall pick in the 2009 WNBA Draft she helped lead the Minnesota Lynx to within one game of a playoff spot, providing leadership as a rookie for a team really hampered greatly by injuries.
Renee agreed to review and reflect on one of my recent posts Leadership: Seven Leadership Essentials and how it pertains to her and her career.
I expected a few sentences… What came about was easily better than the original. Download it and read it. Share it with your team. It’s a tremendous look at Renee’s leadership ability, who she is and where she is headed.
Reading it lead me to her website and to investigate more about this person. I came away with a tremendous amount of new-found respect for just who this person is. Not only the athlete and the player, but the person.
Take time to look over her site, you’ll come away very impressed.
