Football captains are typically thought of as the four guys who go out to midfield for the coin toss and then their leadership duties are done for the rest of the game, but that is not the case with this year’s UH football team captains.
The Cougars took a unique approach in choosing this season’s team captains, led by football operations director Ryan Dorchester and team strength coach Darl Bauer.
Dorchester and Bauer read Sam Walker’s “Captain Class” during the last season, which inspired them to change UH’s approach to choosing team captains.
The book looked at 17 teams in the history of sports that were the elite of the elite, and the one thing it found was that each team had elite captains.
