Titles can identify captains. But they can’t create leaders. I love this from Marcus Freeman: “We have a whole bunch of guys who are going to choose to lead. They don’t need a title to lead.” That’s what great teams need. Not 2 or 3 captains doing all the leading. A locker room full of people willing to speak up. Hold the standard. Bring energy. Help a teammate. Do the right thing when nobody is watching. Too many players wait for permission to lead. They think they need a “C” on their jersey, need to be a senior, or need the coach to name them something. You don’t. Leadership isn’t a position you’re given. It’s a choice you make. Every single day. 👇
