HOW TO BE A TEAM LEADER So, you have been elected or appointed to be your team
captain. What are your responsibilities? What do your teammates and
coaches expect of you? Or, maybe you feel like you could be a leader on
your team even if you do not have the official title of captain.
What is the team leader's job? It is to help make his or her teammates better athletes. It is understanding that a team is only as good as all of its members are, from the best to the worst. Being the team leader does not make you the boss nor does it make you a coach. |

Much of what the best team leaders do they do without even thinking about it. They do it by setting an example for other team members. It is about being at every scheduled practice, getting to practice on time, and working hard during all of the activities that your coaches include in practice, even the ones you don't really like much. Being a team leader is about helping teammates work on their skills, encouraging them, supporting their efforts to get better, but never criticizing them or giving them a hard time. No one made you the boss! Yelling at your teammates and telling them how bad they are is not what good team leaders do. Coaches should never do this and neither should you.

Have you ever witnessed any inappropriate behavior of parents toward children, coaches or officials at a youth sporting event? Before you answer “no” so emphatically, take into consideration that yelling at a referee for missing a call at a 5-year-old soccer game qualifies as inappropriate behavior.
Most people don’t have someone immediately available to rebound and pass the ball back to them. The Shoot-And-Star rebounder performs this function very well so that anyone can practice by themselves and still get the benefit of a quick repetitive shooting practice.
Modern ski helmets are so light, stylish and comfortable that many skiers consider them not only a safety device but also something of a fashion accessory.
