How do you be a good netball captain?

Answer 1

To be a good captain you need to be able to lead your team whether you win or lose and be that extra support for them when they are not having a good game or, praise their efforts when they ARE having a good game. You need to give them that extra push in training sessions and be the voice on court when your team needs it. The coach chooses a specific person for the captaincy role for a reason; they have shown leadership in other areas and supports the team in all situations. A good captain also organises the team in the coaches absence (Or if they're late) and may diffuse tension between other players as the captain can see things from the "players" point of view.
