Cowboys QB Uses His Master’s Degree as Team Captain

[waving monkey]

But is leadership something inherent, a trait that a person is born with? Or is leadership something that can be learned and developed?

For Dak Prescott, the answer is “both”.

Dak already had natural traits such as self-confidence, but during his college years at Mississippi State, he honed his leadership skills during undergraduate and postgraduate studies.

“My undergrad is in psychology and my master’s is in workforce leadership and obviously they work together,” says Dak. “Psychology is reading the mind and learning about how the mind works and learning about yourself and how to influence and motivate other people. And moving onto my master’s, Workforce Leadership took those previous classes to another step of leadership in the workplace and leadership within in a diverse culture and diverse group.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing, waving.

I really wish Dak was given more from throwing talent angle because he is King of the Intangibles. I just hope players don't ever quit on him because he wants to lead & win so bad. If Dallas ever moves on from him I want it to be quick and unexpected.

Same degree as Jimmy.

My favorite quote of all time, "Let the mind control the body, not the body control the mind."

Dak’s YPA 7.7

Rodgers is 7.9

 

[JDSmith]

Dak’s YPA 7.7

Rodgers is 7.9

Pretty sure Dak's YPA is 6.6

love these threads where Dak gets compared to Rodgers and Brady and GREAT QBs....Dak is the man...I have always thought of him as more of a Russell Wilson type, but with more leadership skills

Dak’s YPA is 6.6 but Rodgers is actually 7.1. However, Dak’s YPC is 10.8 and Rodgers is actually 10.7. Not exactly Captain Checkdown.

Yes. Through four games it is 6.6. Last year was 8.0.

His career average is 7.7.

He was accusing Dak of being Captain Checkdown. So I compared his YPA to the guy many think is the best and a player I doubt many would call Captain Checkdown.

I seems that way. We’re just the biggest. Thus we have the biggest amount of ****heads.
