This month the OSU Dance Team Coach, Melissa McGhee, shares with us her strategy for coaching a team who holds 15 national titles since 2018. Under her leadership Melissa took a club sport and transitioned it into a powerhouse varsity sport that dominates each year. She reminds us that as a new leader you have to remember that you don’t know everything from the start and learning from the experts and accepting help is a great way to build trust in your team. We discuss how she leads with the philosophy that”clear is kind” and making sure that you understand your team members’ needs as you set out expectations early.

Books suggested by Melissa include: John Gordon’s You Win in the Locker Room and Pat Summitt’s Definite Dozen
