What is the definition of a leader? Leadership is vital in a number of different environments, yet perhaps the importance of leadership is nowhere more apparent than on a sports team.

A captain should be one who leads by example: someone who is focused, hard working, encouraging of others, and able to bring people together. My co-captain and I, however, didn’t have much to do in the area of bringing the girls together and creating team unity - as they were able to do it themselves.
