Earlier this month, ecap proudly supported Azul Football Club’s Young Player of the Year Awards, an inspiring evening celebrating not just talent but the values that shape tomorrow’s leaders. The event honoured young athletes for their resilience, commitment and character, recognising behaviours that often go unnoticed, like showing up early, encouraging teammates and pushing through challenges. These are the same leadership qualities we champion at ecap. As highlighted in our recent podcast with Azul’s Director of Football, Liam Hughes, psychological safety and values-driven development are crucial at every stage of growth. What starts on the pitch becomes the foundation for confident, purpose-driven leadership later in life.
