According to Schopman, including your entire team in the process of choosing captains can be beneficial in building your culture. The United States Women's National Team has the players pick the captains and it is the coaches role to develop, educate, and assist those leaders once they are chosen. As Schopman says, "It's strong that the team choose their own leaders and then as a staff your responsible to develop the leaders."
