We Teach Leadership and Teamwork

Leaders are not born, people are born. Leaders are created by training, by trial, and by having the circumstances of leadership thrust upon them. Many people find themselves in those circumstances, those that become leaders have been trained to take advantage of circumstance, to control the moment, to present the goal of effort in such a way that those who must follow can see clearly what was not visible before. And, once presented, once shown, they will follow, they will invest themselves in this common vision for the common good. This good may be the good of the team, the good of the community, the good of the corporation, or the good of the country.

At MMA, we know what has always been known by the United States Marine Corps. With the proper training, with the proper role models, with the proper attention to the "whole person", any one is capable of becoming a leader. We give every cadet the opportunity, the training and the experience of being a Leader. Every cadet, from the exuberant type-A personality to the quiet, shy boy lacking confidence, is given the opportunity to lead the team in physical and mental challenges. Everyone has the chance to reach and extend their limits to be both a productive team member and leader.
