They may not be your best player, but they should be one of your better players. Part of leadership is the ability to lead by example. Talkers who cannot perform make poor leaders. This begins with you as the coach. If you don't always listen attentively to your players when they need to speak, fail to adjust to problems or situations quickly for whatever reason, struggle to make good decisions under pressure, and are a poor communicator you are being a poor leader and even poorer example of the leadership role for your players.
Leadership is a learned trait and it starts with the coach.
