Every High School Sport has Captains and Leaders that lead the team. This is a wonderful opportunity for Sports to develop character traits that will help the student athlete in his later career. Follow these few steps to gain the coaches confidence in you!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Take responsibility for your actions! This is a big step. If you make a mistake or mess up, take the consequences and move forward.
Step 2

Lead by actions, not words. Anyone can talk like they are a leader, but actions speak much louder than words.
Step 3

Do the little things in practice that show you are really trying--like touch every line in wind sprints. This shows the coaches and the players you are passionate about what you are doing.
Step 4

Do more. Do a little extra or more than is expected. Run farther, stay longer, try harder than the next guy.
Step 5

Take charge. Start practice on time, even if the coaches are still getting ready.
