From the Sidelines to the Frontlines
Brent Sorg | ILEETA Conference & Expo
Course Length: 1:45
Leadership in law enforcement and leadership in coaching share more in common than most people realize. Both require trust, adaptability, accountability, emotional intelligence, and the ability to motivate people when the pressure is high.
In this ILEETA Learning Lab interview, Brent Sorg shares insights gained from 25 years with the Lansing Police Department and decades of experience as a soccer coach at the youth, collegiate, and semi-professional levels. Brent explains why leadership is not about rank or authority, but about relationships, preparation, and modeling values through consistent action.
This conversation provides a preview of Brent’s session at the ILEETA Conference & Expo and explores how leadership skills can be intentionally trained, how coaching principles apply to law enforcement environments, and why developing people is the most important responsibility of any leader.
Whether you are attending #ILEETA2026 or simply focused on strengthening leadership within your organization, this episode reflects the practical, experience-based learning that defines the ILEETA Tribe of Trainers.
