I had a desire to be in that cauldron as well. To me, leadership has never been about liking the control that comes with a position of authority. I loved being the guy who could lead the team in a direction. The opportunity to improve on existing systems and to lead a team towards a collective goal just resonates with me. Leading people gives me purpose and, when I assumed the full-time captaincy, it came at a time in my life where I was ready for the job.
