Dak Prescott is a leader on and off the field through communication and vulnerability while talking about mental health. During covid in 2020 Dak came under tremendous pressure and hard times as he battled anxiety and depression. Now this came out from his brother who killed himself and his mother who died from cancer. These are two very hard things and them happening that close together is dangerous and depressing for anyone close to them. Through his foundation, he provides suicide prevention and connects with advocates like Solomon Thomas to honor those lost to suicide. He then won the walter peyton man of the year award showing the love he has for the people around him. This is the type of leader Dak Prescott is: he steps up for the guys on the field and leads by example all while the moment he steps off is looking out for their mental health and loving on them. Lastly he does things like write and ask 4 help on his gloves and wrists so when the camera goes on him anyone watching sees what he is advocating for.

The reason I chose this clip is because it showed outstanding leadership for his team. The man trying to motivate his teammates name is Reece James and he plays for Chelsea. Over the past couple of years Chelsea have had some bad seasons, and they have faced a lot of critics. Despite this Reece James the captain of the team has never bowed his head to noise, even after all the bad seasons he continues to show up and work hard for his team every game day. Including in this clip when Chelsea had just scored a goal. Most teams when they score a goal get comfortable and complacent, but for Reece's team he refuses to let that happen. During every stage of the game, whether they are winning or losing, he will motivate his teammates to give them all the minutes they play just like he does. Keeping the intensity up for a whole 90 minutes is very near impossible to do in professional sports, especially in pro soccer. But the man in the video would rather lose trying to help his team, than to not try at all.

I chose Nick Chubb because I have been a Cleveland Browns fan my whole life and when the team goes through a lot of failures and difficult times when talent comes through especially the talent of a guy like Nick Chubb the fans connect with him very quickly. Nick Chubb was one of the leagues top running backs before he has a very nasty knee injury, Nick Chubb was often described as a silent leader someone who wasn't going to yell at you or lead with his voice he was going to show you and you would see what he is doing and you would follow because of who he is and what he has done. I chose this clip because it shows Chubb eight months after surgery on his knee squatting almost 600 pounds, 600 is a crazy amount for most people let alone someone coming off of a freak injury. Nick Chubb doing this is showing his team that he is working his tail off to come back strong and it would be a huge motivating thing for the team to see how hard he is working to come back and help them. The sad part about this is Chubb never came back the same and he then went to the Texans and could never really find his step again but even throughout that he never stopped leading by example and helping youngeer talent see the work they need to put in to be sucessful. A leader comes in many different ways, some are vocal some are example driven some may be both and people react different to all different types of leaders but for what Nick Chubb did in his time in Cleveland he will always be remembered for the great running back and person he was.
