My name is Xavier Santeiro and I chose Tom Brady. I’ve been watching Tom Brady since he played for Michigan. He’s been a leader since day one. He would always be the first one in the building last one to leave the building. He led by example. He motivated his teammates by always striving to be better. He won his first super bowl his first year as a starter. That could’ve been his only one and it is an amazing accomplishment. He continued striving to be better and he has now won 6 total super bowls. He works so hard it just makes you want to work hard.

My name is Kate Lopez and Jill Ellis is someone that I personally have looked up to for years. She was the US Women’s National Soccer Team head coach from 2014 to 2019. She won two back to back FIFA World Cups, the first coach to do that in the women’s game. She broke many records while head coach but always was humble about it on camera. I look up to her because she is a true leader. She has a vision and knows how to take the positive attributes of each player and putting them together in the best way possible. In this video, Ellis and the CEO of the New York Times say “every day is game day” and that is something that I think is crucial to the success of a team or company.

Hello my name is Julen Altuna and for one of my favorite leaders i picked Tom Coughlin. Tom Coughlin was the head coach of the New York Giants where he won two super bowls with the team as a head coach. He was a very strict leader according to his players. Many of the payers disliked him at first because of how strict he was and he was on the verge of losing the team. Many players expressed to him that he was too up tight and he kept his strict ways but bonded with the players. This allowed the team to come together and she that if the head coach could change his ways for the better of the team why can’t the players change their ways. This helped the Giants as team go on two great playoff runs and beat the best team in the last decade twice. Many of the players love Tom Coughlin once they were able to be on the same page and were able to accomplish the number one goal which was to win the super bowl.

This is Will Saborido. Growing up in South Florida, I am naturally a fan of all Miami teams including Miami Heat. With Dwayne Wade retiring, the Heat’s new star is Jimmy Butler. I have long been a huge fan of Jimmy Butler because of his competitiveness and toughness. Jimmy had a bad reputation early in his career for being a poor teammate and was called a selfish player. This is not the case anymore. Jimmy Butler arrived in Miami and has shown the world who he really is. He showed up to his first Heat practice at 3:30 AM, when practice did not begin until 10. He has consistently worked hard and set an example for the younger players. Headlines about Butler are no longer negative, but talk about how he supports his teammates. The hard work is paying off as the Heat have had a fantastic season and are looking to make a run in the playoffs behind Jimmy Butler’s leadership.

MIREYA LUIS

Alejandrina Mireya Luis Hernández, Cuban volleyball player who was one of the world’s leading figures in the sport. At the age of fifteen he joined the national team of Cuba. Under the leadership of Mireya Luis, the team won gold three consecutive times from the Olympic Games: in Barcelona (1992), Atlanta (1996) and Sydney (2000). He retired from high competition in 2000. Among his most remembered qualities, the vigor of his attack and the power of his jumps stand out, in which he used to rise above three meters. Mireya is one of my inspirations within my favorite sport, volleyball. Not just for being an excellent player of the ball and net, but for her humility. Mireya always distinguished himself by his humility at all times. It was characterized by its discipline inside and outside the net.

Valeria Santos

My name is Koby Perez. I chose this video of Hall of fame baseball executive Pat Gillik. I was fortunate enough to briefly work with Pat and was impressed on how such a high ranking executive always knew all the employee’s names (even the very low and entry level people). His ability to make everyone feel like part of the team is unmatched. Very humble and approachable. Anyone looking to be a sports executive should take a page out of Pat’s book.

My name is Owen Green, I chose this video of Former manager of Bayern Munich, and current manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola giving an intense teaching moment to a young Joshua Kimmich after they drew 0-0 against Borussia Dortmund. I feel this video shows what a great leader Guardiola is because after Kimmich having a very good game against their rivals, Guardiola is coaching him instantly after the match telling him what needs to be corrected and what he needs to do to be great. you can not hear what Guardiola is actually saying but he commentators say that this is what will make kimmich great, the advice given in order to improve his game on small mistakes. this is also something I feel is great leadership because I have expired this first hadn’t with my former coach here at FIU, after beating another school 5-0, my former coach comes up to me after the game to tell me the one thing I did wrong and explain to me what to better and what to do next time. and conversations like that, to me shows great leadership because I shows the coach has truly good intentions for the player.
