  • Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union
    Captaincy and Leadership in Rugby Union HELP, Second Year List of contents 1. Introduction 2. The Four Captains 3. The Views of The Captains 4. Comparing and Contrasting the Captain’s Views 5. Interim Conclusions: Part One 6. Quali - Quantitative Survey 7. Interim Conclusions: Part Two 8. Leadership in Life 9. Overall Conclusions and Learnings 10. What Have I Learned? 11. Appendices 1. Introduction In this project, I am going to either prove or disprove two hypotheses: • firstly, that the position of a rugby player will make a difference to what they think a great captain is; and • secondly, that for a captain to be great, they do not have to be the best in their position. I will prove or disprove these hypotheses through the following research: • conducting semi-quantitative surveys • reading and analysing 4 great rugby captains’ autobiographies (qualitative research) and their views on leadership and captaincy • and finally wider online research. Rugby is a sport and subject that I am very passionate about, and I aspire to play at the highest level. Currently I play for Hampton U13 Bs and my club (Twickenham) first team. I find captaincy interesting as I think it takes great skill and certain characteristics to be a good captain let alone a country-leading world-famous great captain. My personal experiences of rugby captaincy have been periodically with my school team and regularly for my club. My personal view of rugby captaincy based on my experiences is that you need to be the hardest-working player on the pitch at all times – you may not be the most skilled, but you can be the hardest-working, and respect from your team- mates and from your coaches comes from this work ethic.
