Every team has athletes who talk about wanting to win.
Few have team leaders willing to do the work, have the tough conversations, and continually set and raise the standard.
That’s what separates successful captains from those who just wear the "C" on their jersey.

The greatest compliment a coach can give a captain:
“I trust you to lead.”
The greatest compliment a captain can give a coach:
“I’ve got our team.”
When both happen, special seasons are the result.

Your team’s culture is often revealed in the moments many don’t see.
That’s when your team captains matter the most.
They set and sustain the standards when no one else is watching.
They dictate what's acceptable and unacceptable in your program.

WINNING = STAY LOCKED IN LONGER! 🔒
Many teams can't stay locked in for a whole competition.
😕 Their focus wonders.
🫩 Their intensity wanes.
😟 Their confidence wavers.
😫 Their execution falls apart.
Winning means staying locked in longer than your opponents. 🔒🏆

The best teams don't have 1 leader.
The best teams have layers of leadership.
A strong layer of leadership from the AD.
A strong layer of leadership from the head coach.
A strong layer of leadership from the assistant coaches.
A strong layer of leadership from the captains.

“On every team, there is a core group that sets the tone for everyone else.

If the tone is positive, you have half the battle won.

If it is negative, you are beaten before you even walk out on the field.”

WANT TO WIN AT AN ELITE LEVEL?
Become a master of the little things.

The team that consists executes the little things at a high level is often the team that wins the game.

Focus on, measure, and improve the little things in practices and you'll see the difference on game day.

If it's about you.
If it's about your playing time.
If it's about your social media.
If it's about your fame and notoriety.

THEN IT'S NOT ABOUT US.
AND IT'S NOT ABOUT WINNING.
AND WE DON'T WANT IT OR NEED IT.
