10 Attributes of a good Team Captain

Posted by Eitel in For Coaches, For Players | 0 comments

Most sports, like Basketball, involve more than a single player. Several players combined to form a single group can be considered as a team. When you hear the word team, there has to be someone who will lead them. I am, definitely, not referring to the coach of the team. What I mean is a leader among the player themselves. The player who steps up and demonstrates leadership skills, both on court and off court, is widely considered to be the team captain.

Simple Recall
To better understand this topic, let us try to analyze how Webster described the following terms:

• Responsibility – a moral obligation or duty; a charge or trust.
• Team – a group of people participating in a sport together.
• Captain – the leader of a team, as in sports.

Just by the definitions alone, one can perceive what it means, and how hard it is, to be the team captain. Now, we are ready to look at the different responsibilities of a team captain.
