I Never Thought Being Chosen As Captain For My High School Robotics Team

This year during wrestling I was captain of the team, and this was a big responsibility since being captain is a big deal. Being captain isn’t about giving commands to people as you please or hazing people who aren’t as good as you. It’s a whole lot more than that. To be a captain or leader, you must show good examples, give advice when teammates are struggling, inspire teammates, and the list goes on. Many different qualities are required to be a successful leader like having good focus, being strong, having confidence, patience, and many more qualities. In the end it all comes down to a leader leading his team to victory. Its sound easy, but it depends on the leader, and the teammates trust into that leader.

Soccer has helped me the most with leadership; through the Kicks program as I mentioned earlier and being alternative captains in my spring leagues and this year in varsity soccer for the school. With Kicks I was in charge of many children who looked up to me as a role model, I had to teach them many footskills and other techniques. In my spring league of soccer I was one of the four captains in that league and through this leadership position I tried to be a positive and very upbeat person who encouraged her teammates. Finally for this years varsity soccer team I was given captain after one of our girls got hurt. Taking over this position put a lot of pressure on me that I was able to overcome; as I felt weird because I was not originally voted captain and didn’t think that my team would be happy. After a few games I realized that I had become comfortable with the new position and it made me work harder. As a leader I realized that my fellow team members had started to try harder if I tried harder and it meant so much to me. All of these things have helped me strongly understand leadership and why it is so important.

Leadership is very important to me. I am the captain of my school's cross-country team, and was the recipient of the leadership award. My coach gave me this position based on my leadership qualities. When my team is going through a rough practice, it is my job to push them forward and help them find their motivation. I have earned my teams respect, leading by example, which is crucial to being a good leader.

This was one of my greatest accomplishments that I have achieved in my life. The roles of a Flag Party Commander from the views of an outsider are commanding and taking lead of many parades. Through leading the members of the Flag Party, I have not only gained the trust and the ability to lead the members, but I have learned to lead myself and take full control of my life. Also, I learned that leading with care, passion, and positivity is in my opinion the most effective method to lead. The last idea that I have learned from being the commander is that it is not just about being the best, but it is to lead others with motivation, being another cadet's role model, feeding people ideas and let them create their own, and taking the extra step to be the best person that you want the others to see you

I started out as a student-athlete in which I depicted great leadership skills and positive role model qualities such as diligence, enthusiasm, and passion for the sport. Hence, after my first year of college, I was named the team captain. I worked closely with the coaches, helped to resolve team conflicts, established the tone for practice, and modeled responsibility, decision-making, and a strong work ethic. I also promoted a positive attitude and team interactions, and encouraged and supported all of my teammates. Throughout my experience as team captain, I showed mental toughness by remaining confident and focus, and respond to individual and team mistakes in an appropriate manner.

While participating in the robotics competitions, I discovered my passion for robotics. Even after the initial team separated, I continued helping new members, based on my previous experience and new-found knowledge. In the future, I want to continue the legacy my grandmother and mother have given me and continue to strive for excellence, helping my country and the rest of the world by the hand of technology and

A strong example of my leadership experience is my senior season of football. Following the 2016-2017 academic year, our head coach resigned on short notice and lacked any coach to fill the position. Because he left on such short notice, we didn’t have a coach for the first two weeks of the preseason, a crucial developing point in the season. However, a small group of other seniors and I were able to schedule workouts until we got a new coach. This established our group as team leaders and allowed us to lead the team to success in the regular season. I was later named a team captain for my leadership on and off the field. This gave me the ability further lead by example as well as keep the team’s morale up in the face of adversity. I ran extra

After a while, everyone started telling me that I should be a captain. This gave me so much more confidence in who I am, and made me learn a lot about myself. I realized how much I loved making others feel better and I learned that I am good at consoling people during tough times. With so many members

Serving as a leader for my group for History Fair has really helped me improve my organization and communication skills. We faced many conflicts because my group and I had many ideas and different point of views and I had to be able to bring those ideas together into one functional project. My job as a leader was also to assign different jobs to the members of the group to make it fair to everyone and divide the work equally. At the beginning there were also many conflicts deciding the topic of the project so we decided to pick a group leader and by everybody’s vote I took the position.

Becoming a team captain has influenced me to set good examples for my team mates. As a result, I must learn to give before I can expect to receive something in return from those who I lead.

One of my goals is to be a leader in a business organization. Being the captain of the swim team sets a concrete foundation of what being a leader is like in a business organization. As the captain I have to make sure everyone is accounted for, keep morale high, talk about issues about an individual on the swim team, and fix said problem. This shows responsibility, character, and sympathy. These are core values that all leaders must have to be successful. Without them, they will

Being on a team and working with others plants the seed to become a leader

This was significant in my leadership skill since I was made a platoon sergeant and became responsible for sixteen students and everything that they needed to complete. I was liable for their whereabouts and the many things that they needed to learn in order to be promoted. Also I had to make sure that they were ready to march for the District Inspection and Fiestas Patrias Parade. In order to represent the school well. Which took a lot of work and dedication, but when they were able to comprehend what they were being taught it made it easier. And when it was time for them to stand in the inspection and do everything that they were taught correctly it made it all worthwhile to be their platoon sergeant. Being a part of ROTC taught me service when I participated in the Fiestas Patrias Parade. Since it made me dedicate an entire day to being in the parade and making sure that I did my part to represent my school the right way. As well as, build my character since I had to keep my integrity in tact by following through with being loyal to my school, and exert my good behavior to show my school is great.

My role as a class leader in NJROTC and the wrestling team captain allowed me to benefit others and assist them with achieving their goals whatever it may be. For example, I was responsible for the performance and success of the cadets and team members that I am in charge of. As the wrestling team captain, I must make sure that everyone is able to perform to the best of their abilities and solve any issues they have if need be. In addition, I teach some skills and provide some pointers for the team in order to enlarge their repertoire to win more matches with ease. As the class leader I was responsible for cadets’ appearance, discipline, and performance in and out of class. I conduct drill with the cadets to make sure they are marching with

First, one way that being named a captain helped spark some personal growth was it made me do stuff I wasn't always comfortable doing. Sometimes they made me speak in front of the whole team. I do not know everyone on the team very well so it was a little nerve racking but I was able to get past that and talk in front of the team a lot. Another thing I wasn't really comfortable doing was waking up at 4:30 am. That was very difficult some mornings for me. I also had to get after people who were not doing what they were supposed to do. That was difficult for me when especially when it was one of my friends.
