title actually courtesy of Walt Whitman

It's the title and a line from a Whitman poem, that Dead Poets' Society used. Great movie, by the way.

I think a captain should be the smartest player on the team, and lead by example. They should never be the person who makes the dumbass play.

cant think of a single quality,
but as little as possible,     strategic and supportive.

anyway i'll explain myself
i said composure becuase in every situation if your not cool, calm and collected you are virtually screwed and in times of diffeculty you need a person who is composued and will keep a cool head specially if your down in a important game

you ain't the greatest until your most hated
