About Team Captains in GoChallenge

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

Updated over 9 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.
