Athletes frequently attribute success to strong leadership on their team. However, leadership structures have been very similar from team to team and sport to sport. A smaller team might have one or two captains and larger sports such as football will likely have more in place. New Temple Field Hockey Coach, Susan Ciufo asked herself the question "Why am I asking two people to do the job, when five people can do it... they are all so different and interact with the players differently."
Before the team's summer vacation, Ciufo designated her five-person leadership team.
