Suggestions???
Think about the amount of time that you have in a day. How much of that is committed to school, studying, fun and socializing, and responsibilities which include your participation in teams/organizations?

Now think about the teams/organizations that you are committed to - how effective will you be? How productive? How accountable? Demands of teams such as rugby and robotics are tough and unforgiving.

Are you being fair to either team and to yourself by doing this? Those are things to look at when trying to balance sports, activities, school. Your decisions/influence as captain will make an impact, positive or negative, and will have consequences, positive or negative. What type of impact do you want to make and how much do you want it?

Food for thought. Good luck with your 2009 season.
