Try your hardest at a game, meet, even practice. Your teammates will see this and they will see how hard you work. A hard worker is a trait of a good captain.

Question

How can I prevent a popularity vote?

Community Answer

There are more "non-popular" than "popular," so make sure you're nice and kind toward the majority; that way, "non-popular" people will vote for you.

You may not become a captain. But, even if you don't, you should still participate and do your best. Remember, captain is just a title. It doesn't describe who or what really leads a team. You should be captain-like regardless of whether you actually are a captain or not.
