Leadership from the Locker Room is a powerful course that teaches leadership lessons rooted in sports but applicable to every area of life. Based on John Maxwell’s principles, this course reveals how the mindset, habits, and values developed in athletics create leaders who know how to work on a team, handle adversity, and lead with character.

Dejon Jernagin helps participants understand that the locker room is where culture is built—where attitudes are shaped, accountability is learned, and leadership is developed long before the spotlight. Through real-life examples and interactive discussion, participants learn how to carry locker room leadership lessons into their careers, relationships, and daily decision-making.
