Traditionally, the best player on the team was the captain. But that's not necessarily the best approach for choosing your leadership group. In this episode, David and Susan talk about what jobs to give to captains and how to coach them to be leaders. Our guest, James Roxborough, shares his method for choosing captains, which includes a questionnaire.
The items in Coach James's questionnaire:
1. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘leading by example’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
2. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘being a vocal leader’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
3. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘holding people accountable’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
4. In your opinion, who from this group is the best at ‘cheerleader’ (name up to 3 individuals)?
5. In your opinion, who would you trust communicating with coaching staff on team issues (name up to 3 individuals)?
6. In your opinion, who would you trust delivering messages from the coaching staff (name up to 3 individuals)?
7. If you had an issue, in relation to the team or team environment, who is the one person on the team, you trust to go to, to talk to or for support?
8. If you had an issue outside the team, with your family, personal life etc, who is the one person on the team, you trust to go to, to talk to or for support?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
