Big Green captains emphasize leadership and communication

Whether they are juniors or seniors, co-captains or tri-captains, Big Green captains take pride in their position, are honored to be elected and work hard to help the team succeed.

|

As I hope you've figured out by this point, life isn't fair. So it shouldn't surprise you that sports aren't fair, either. My high school soccer coach had a saying, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." What's left unspoken is that, presuming talent doesn't stay up drinking all night before a game and actually has a desire to get better, talent will usually win.
