The core values pushed each player to stay committed to the concept of togetherness in order to achieve all goals set at the beginning of the year.” Servant Leadership: At the start of the season, several incoming players had a hard time adjusting to the demands of conditioning and time management. The captains of the Calumet soccer team decided to get all the players together and explain the importance of preseason and how it will benefit the team not only for the upcoming season but also the future of the program.
