Okay—I’ve equipped my captains. In the past I’ve had to step in when a captain’s behavior seemed out of character, but now I’d like to put a more formal structure in place to support them.

This year, our high school captains were great athletes and outstanding students, but I felt like I had to babysit them throughout the season and never really got the lift I was expecting from their leadership. Is it them, or is it me? I want to make sure I get the most from my captains next season.

As a coach, I’m struggling to identify the best method for selecting team captains. Should it be a vote, my decision, or earned through performance?

It’s like everything I’m doing lately is missing the mark. I’m trying to figure out what’s going on, but I just feel stuck.

My teammate is so quiet, we do team bonding events, and most of us get kind of crazy before a game in the locker room. I'm fearful that they may not be caring about how we do or even if they want to win. What should i do?

Our entire team has to attend a Yoga session. I don't know what to expect and honestly I need just one day to myself and a break from my team.

I am doing everything asked of me. I'm not perfect, but I feel like other players are getting opportunities that I am not, and they are not performing as well as I am. What do you suggest?

I'm a fall and winter athlete. We are projected to make it to the postseason playoffs. I know from the fall season that I started losing focus and energy toward the last quarter of the season. Do you have any suggestions to prevent this from happening this winter?

Recently my athlete has had some disappointing games. Sometimes I am unsure of what to say and how to support them. What are your thoughts?

Our goalie is unable to make tomorrow's game. The coach is asking if anyone wants to volunteer to play. I never have, and I don't want to look like a fool! Why would I?
