Multiple Choice

You are a captain on your team

Your team has a rule of arriving no later than one hour before practice so you can stretch as a team. You notice a player is 10 minutes late.

How can you hold this player accountable in a POSITIVE WAY?

• Point out to the entire team he/she is late

• Ask your teammate if everything is okay and remind them of the team rule

• Don't say anything, let it slide because it is your friend that is late

• Yell at your teammate so they know there is a consequence for being late
