Although I am not usually a spectator sports enthusiast, I admit to being completely caught up in the Olympics. I love the excitement, passion, commitment, vision, and stories of personal triumph that are the stuff of great athletes. I admit to being proud of the way our American team has demonstrated not only outstanding athleticism, but also sportsmanship and inspirational leadership to the world.

What can we learn from these young leaders, many of whom are still teenagers, about the inner game of leadership?
