[quote=Anonymous]This is too complicated a subject to make sweeping generalizations. I have kids on many HS teams who play multiple sports. I have seen teams where captains don’t start (or make championship meets) yet they are leaders for what they do to organize and motivate kids at practice and team events and competitions. I have seen starters who are terrible captains bc they only focus on their own performance. I have seen brilliant athletes who make great captains bc they also get the spirit and mundane tasks of hauling water coolers etc. I have seen quiet athletic captains be great role models bc of attitude and performance, which ends up being more than enough. It is going to be team specific and coach specific in terms of what balance your program needs. We also don’t see it all and probably have no idea what really goes down on the daily. Best that we as parents stay out of it and trust the process to be a worthwhile learning experience whatever way it looks.[/quote]
