5 Keys to be an Extraordinary Team Captain

Dec 12, 2023    Gary Steffes, Chris Heaton

The importance of leadership cannot be overstated. As the leader goes, the team goes. 


Without strong leadership, the team suffers. 


The problem is many current and aspiring captains are not being trained to be effective team captains. 


Team captain’s face unique challenges: 

•       How do I lead the team while also managing my own game?

•       How do I create and drive a Championship culture?

•       How do I handle a selfish teammate who will not buy in to a team first mentality?

•       How do I hold teammates accountable?

•       How do I be a mediator with coach when my teammates are my friends?

•       How do I keep from getting prideful when I am the only one with a letter on my chest?

•       When do I speak up, versus stay silent?

•       What do I do when our team has cliques or is in a slump?

•       Am I still a great leader if I am not the best player?

That is why you are here. Our goal is to strengthen you as a leader by giving you 5 Keys to be an Extraordinary Team Captain.
