Derek Jeter's Leadership

Leadership means different things to different people. To us it is not about managing or directing people. It is about the ability to inspire and influence others towards the leader’s goal and vision. A leader in sports has the same characteristics as a leader who works in an office. Besides being knowledgeable in their respective sport, team leaders have to possess effective relationship skills. A sport leader leads by example and must hold and exhibit the same traits and behaviours they expect from their team members. Nobody did that as well as the world famous Mr. Wayne Gretzky. Wayne Gretzky is a former National League Hockey (NHL) all-star and International hockey star. Many say he is the best hockey player of all time. He was the

When you start your education at Sport and Medical Sciences Academy(SMSA) you are taught and are expected to follow the four core beliefs that shape our school and its environment. The four core beliefs are discipline, respect, dedication, and responsibility or how most students know it as D.R.D.R. However, SMSA students are not the only ones that abide by these rules and beliefs. A well-known athlete that is a great example of this is the New York Yankees shortstop, Derek Jeter. According to Jeter, his success did not come overnight. His biography displays all the hard work he went through to become the best and he started just at the age of eight with a goal of becoming a shortstop for the New York Yankees. Jeter inspires others to set their goals above and beyond, and if you work hard or believe in yourself that you can achieve anything you want.

I want to become a Bank of America student leader I want to be a good leader but also a true leader, which is a leader that leads by example.

I have learned from fellow classmates and peers on how to become a selfless leader and follower thinking of others above myself. Throughout my four years of high school, I’ve been a part of many clubs, some that I am still involved in and some with important leadership positions. My main motive in getting involved with my community and school is to improve our school and community. In AFJROTC I have done over 250 hours of community service just within ROTC and have done over 1,000 community service throughout my community and school. I believe in selfless actions to help benefit my neighbor and peer to overall make us both superior. I am currently the Steele’s National Honors Society President, a Flight (class) commander and squadron (leader of all flights) commander, Business manager for 2017-2018 Squire magazine, Class of 2018 reporter (class officer). I have key positions in many clubs and organizations that have over this year improved and exceeded expectations. As I am a Leader, I have learned to become a respected, caring, strong-willed, straight forward, and reputative leader. I learned this mostly from the direction and teaching of Steele High School making me the leader I am

I have demonstrated the qualities of a capable and trusted leader through my involvement in my school, work, and community activities. I have held a part-time job at my church's daycare where I help create a safe, loving, caring, and nurturing learning environment for children of the ages zero to five. All the while, I have continued to be an active member in school functions and be in leadership positions in various clubs.

I have and continue to exhibit outstanding and excellent leadership throughout the progression of my junior and senior high school years. My primary source of leadership is through a school club called the Interscholastic Reading Team. I have been involved in this club for 6 years (7th-12th grades) while possessing leadership positions such as the Treasurer (10th grade), Secretary (11th grade), and the President (12th grade). The director of this club chose me for all three of these positions because of the leadership that I showed throughout the years of being involved in the club. As the positions I was chosen for I delivered passes to members of the club, organized the club, designed the t-shirts, presented the club to the junior high students,

I am very passionate when it comes to helping out in my community and around the school, whether it be volunteering to go door to door to raise awareness as part of the Pencils for Kids club, or helping find potential donors for bone marrow transplants. A big way in which I am involved in my school is through the LEAD Club for the second year now, where I am able to enhance my leadership abilities, by organizing and running many events and give back to the community. By donating to organizations such as Free The Children and 360 Kids, it has allowed me to see the difference I can make in my own community. Through my dedication on the executive council of LEAD, I feel inspired to help students develop a variety of skills by leading various workshops,

I consider myself to be a multi-sport athlete because I have participated and continue to take part in various sports such as figure skating, competitive swimming, and soccer. Along with these sports, I’m currently taking life-saving courses to eventually become a lifeguard. I’ve also volunteered at my skating rink to help younger children learn how to skate every Saturday morning. I make school my number one priority so having these sports can be difficult to manage so I tend to shy away from extracurricular activities, but when I do find time I try out for the basketball team and the track and field team. I’ve previously played with the school’s junior girls basketball team and played discus and shotput in the track and field team. Inside

Throughout my high school career I have been very successful in activities in and out of school. One of the activities that I take most pride in is basketball. I have played basketball for as long as I remember and it has always been a part of my life. By playing sports along with participating in other athletic activities it makes me a well-rounded person. In particular playing basketball has made my learning dedication and leadership in the time I have participated in it. In addition to playing basketball I manage the varsity football team. The reason I volunteer to do this is because I love all sporting activities and like to be associated with as many as I could. By being a part of the football team I have learned what it takes to run a

In school, I participate in three sports and three extracurricular activities. I play football, basketball, and track. I’m on varsity football, and I play almost every position.

I have been president of the student council at my school for the last 2 years. I have been given the chance to develop my teamwork and leadership skills at many events such as bake-sales for raising money for my High School’s graduation party. I have learned how to produce TV-level short films and how to produce Hollywood-level visual effects, and also I learned from the short films I make how to be a film director and most importantly an effective leader; which was all

I am a sophomore in high school and I have a very busy schedule. I go through an eight-hour school day and I stay after for high school soccer practice. After I leave the school, I go to my club team’s practice . Eventually, after I finish all of my sports for that day, I do my homework and go to sleep. On the weekends, I spend majority of my time playing sports and spending time with my friends. I can honestly say that I take the time to do things that are truly important to me. As a high school athlete, sports are very important to me, as well as my grades. The school requires their athletes to maintain at least a C
