Captain (sport)

In either case, it is a position that indicates honor and respect from one's teammates – recognition as a leader by one's peers.

In many team sports, the captains represent their respective teams when the match official does the coin toss at the beginning of the game. The team captain, in some sports, is selected by the team coach, who may consider factors ranging from playing ability to leadership to serving as a good moral example to th ...
