How you pick captains can make or break your team culture. In this video, I’m sharing exactly how I revamped my approach after 14 years of coaching —because what used to work… didn’t anymore. From setting expectations to leadership roles, I'm walking you through how to pick captains with intention and strategy—not just by default.

👋🏼I’m Coach Bre – a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a long time head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion. I’ve seen firsthand how the right leadership can elevate (or tank) your team’s confidence, cohesion, and accountability.

In this episode, I talk about:
Why choosing captains earlier changed everything
The 7-question leadership nomination method
How to integrate captains into your mental training program
Why your leaders must model the mindset you expect from your team
