Re: New Team Captain Needs Help!
As a former Team Leader (We have a sports franchise esk hierarchy so my official title was General Manager) one tip that i think really helps is try to gain as much knowledge about FIRST, the current game, and your teams rules. I always kept a personal copy of the rules with me so i could always reference when making decisions. I think the hardest part is gaining a professional level of respect from your peers and being able to separate you the team leader and you their friend. Don't be afraid to bring down the hammer(but only in moderation, to turn into a dictator) I think the most important leadership skill is confidence in yourself and your team
**edit/ addition**
oh and do not try to do everything yourself, this will turn into unneeded stress and other problems, be sure to delegate the right amount of duties
