Modeling Respect as a Captain
Captains set the standard. What you do matters more than what you say. This guide gives captains specific actions to model respect and hold teammates accountable.
Steps
- Model the standard: treat everyone with respect in every interaction.
- Speak up in the moment: don't wait for the coach to address it.
- Check in with teammates privately: 'Hey, are you okay?'
- Hold each other accountable: it's not snitching, it's leading.
- Remember: your silence is permission.
