Melrose volleyball has an elaborate process in place to choose its titular (captains) leaders. That includes an application process, interviews with teachers, and an election within the team. But leadership doesn't hold exclusivity within captaincy.
Melrose has outstanding leadership with co-captains Marissa Cataldo and Victoria Crovo, but even the casual observer can see other 'floor leaders'. It's far harder to see from a distance other leadership among players.
CSSNE.com shares Bill Belichick's thoughts on leadership. "Everybody on the team has leadership," he explained. "You don’t have to be a captain to be a leader. You don’t have to be a 10-year veteran or anything else. Rookies give us leadership. Veterans give us leadership. Captains represent the team in various ways, but in the end, I think every player that’s a participant on the team provides leadership. If they have a good attitude and they work hard and they put the team first, then that’s really what leadership is all about."
Leadership springs from setting an example, through positive attitude (good and useful ideas), by supporting teammates through good times and bad. Developing the best approach to team chemistry transfers to the other teams in your life - family, school, work, and community.
