When the other team is showing poor sportsmanship, our team often focuses on it and spends a lot of time discussing it on the sidelines

Players sometimes override my instructions becuase they don't agree with me. If Im not over seeing a station they stop working hard

I feel like there is a microscope on me a lot of the time. My words often get twisted and I can't seem to win no matter what I say.

When a player makes a mistake, teammates step up to assist and encourage

Players feel comfortable bringing issues to captains. Captains feel comfortable bringing issues to coaches
