Captain’s University was built to empower teams to provide leaders the tools to be successful. The leadership program was created through the challenges that leaders face as they step into their role.
As a former Division 1 soccer captain, Captain’s University Founder, Anja Koehler, learned first-hand the critical nature of receiving the necessary tools to ensure a player’s success in confidently leading their team. The Captain’s University Leadership program delivers curriculum in three modules.
Use the platform to help your players discover their leadership strengths and develop into stronger leaders for their team. Captain’s University uses the Leadership Assessment to give players and coaches clarity on players’ natural strengths as a leader. Other Clarity courses dive into Team legacy and Goal setting.
Communications courses aim to support coaches and players to execute goals with discipline, learn how teammates are best motivated, and how to communicate when it is most crucial.
The Confidence Module aims to aid new leaders as they step into their leadership role with little experience. Confidence courses provide the tools necessary to make a new leader more effective and confident in their role.

Testimonials
The Leadership Assessment results are definitely me. I gained value from the assessment because even though I didn’t think of myself as a leader or a captain. This shows me that I can be.
Abeena Aidoo, Vanderbilt University Women’s Soccer Player
I think that the Captain’s University assessment brought me Clarity because I always viewed leadership as either Lead by Voice or Lead by Example. I had always felt like my dominant leadership style was neither of these, but a mix of both. The idea of leading by Connection really resonated with me and was the perfect description of who I am as a leader and helped me identify and understand my strengths.
Emma Treasure, UC Berkeley Women’s Soccer Alumni
I think Captain’s University is a great tool for both players and coaches. Being able to understand the leadership and communication styles within a team can positively impact the culture both on and off the field. Not only does it allow you to identify your own strengths, but it helps to curate those strengths for the benefit of the entire team. For me personally, Captain’s University has made the transition to new teams easier by helping me distinguish my role and contribute to the group using my own assets.
