Leadership looks different for everyone depending on where you stand. On the sidelines, it’s about motivating your teammates and communicating strategy under pressure. For DJing, it’s about reading the audience, adapting to what they enjoy, and keeping the energy thriving. Both environments have taught me how to lead with awareness, when to step up and listen, and when to let others shine.
In sports, leadership often comes from example. You don’t always need to be the loudest voice to make the biggest impact; it’s about consistency and trust. On the other hand, DJing demands confidence in your decisions, as you choose the next track, take creative risks, and remain calm even when things don’t go as planned. Combining both experiences has helped me find a balanced leadership style: grounded, responsive, and intentional.
If you’re in a position where others look to you, whether it’s in school, at work, or in your own creative space. I want you to embrace those moments as opportunities to grow. Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about connection with those around you. So lead by example, lift others up, and watch how much stronger your community becomes.
