Dr. Mike Lorenzen

Kate's Head Coach, Dr. Mike,  is fascinated by leadership. He has been practicing, researching, studying, and writing about the topic for almost 40 years. Though much of his work comes from being an NCAA and Olympic level coach, he focused his doctoral studies on leadership with the goal of being able to coach leaders. He's done that work with business, education, and athletic leaders across the US and Canada. This course was originally designed for the UC Davis Men's Water Polo team but it has been adapted for PhD and Post Doc students, MBA students, college club leaders, and high school students. If you're interested in the book form, you can find it on Amazon where it is published as the "Team Captains' Manual".
