Last Tuesday, the Missouri women’s basketball team got together to vote on captains. But this wasn’t your typical election.
After the votes were cast, the players decided on something: It doesn’t matter who is named captain.
“We all have this different type of leadership, which I think it’s a good thing,” junior guard Lindsey Cunningham said. “Whether you have that title or not, you’re expected to lead in your own specific way. You’ve got your leaders through voice that pump you up, you’ve got your leaders that use their voice to pump you up, you’ve got your leaders that lead through example, and I think everyone has their own different type of leadership on our team, but every single one’s important.
