About Team Captains in GoChallenge

Learn all about the importance of Team Captains and how to lead your team to victory.

Updated over 10 months ago

Every team in GoChallenge has a Team Captain – the motivator, encourager, and all-around champion who helps their squad stay on track. At GoChallenge, success isn’t about individual effort – it’s about getting everyone across the finish line. That’s where you come in.

What does a Team Captain do?

Kick things off strong: Check in early and make sure everyone is set up and connected. If someone’s stuck, guide them to [email protected].

Keep the energy high: Your team’s WhatsApp group is your home base. Drop a daily check-in, hype the wins, and keep motivation flowing.

Look out for teammates falling behind: Some may struggle with the tech, others with the challenge itself. A quick message of support can make all the difference.

Encourage small, consistent movement: Steps add up! Remind your team that shorter walks throughout the day are just as effective as long ones.

Bring people together: Organise a team walk if you’re nearby, or check in virtually to stay connected.

Lead by example: Stay active, stay positive, and your team will follow.
