“The Art of Captaincy “

In “The Art of Captaincy,” shared by Ryan Holiday, Mike Brearley shared the story of a zookeeper who never lost a lion cub. The zookeeper’s secret? “No two lion cubs are alike.”

Who enjoys that degree of success? Parents seldom dismiss coaches to our face, recalling Oscar Wilde’s wisdom, “Your friends stab you in the front.” 

There's no 'one way' to the art of captaincy. 

Some think they could do better and others share resentment about minutes, role, and recognition. 

Coaches and captains must bring energy, effort, and focus, modeling excellence. Captains aren't permitted to have low energy days or low leadership times

Some young women are hesitant to lead because they don't want to be seen as 'bossy' or worse. Get past that. Lead. 

Lagniappe. Work on your platform.
