Leadership and
Training Foundation
The Foundation offers a physical training
program, TEAM FIRST, for youth and young
adults. The program integrates physical
training with a character development
component. Dan Dietz, Sr. developed 17
Founding Principles based on his research
of the lives of great Americans to teach
the true meaning of patriotism and
leadership skills.
And so, my fellow Americans: ask not
what your country can do for you, ask
what you can do for your country.
