Leadership Competency: Captain Of The Wrestling 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.

The present case study outlines the importance the leadership skill and identifies it as the most sustainable competitive edge in a progressively more competitive and boundary less business world (Hoch and Dulebohn, 2013).

The kingpin of the case study is the important elements of competency that affect the leadership outcomes and are influenced by the individual characteristics of the leader as well. The main purpose of the Coaching Performance to be conducted at Elmwood is to develop responsiveness to coaching facilities that are available in the daily work routine and aids the mangers to identify the problems of the members, the prompt responses to address their problems and add to the contribution made for long term career growth of the leaders as well as their subordinates.

Being a leader on a sports team meant that I had to be physically and mentally strong in situations where others might be weak. Physically, I had to be an example on my team by never quitting and never giving up when things were tough. That way when my teammates seen me pushing through physically adverse situations they have someone to follow

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.

Sports make people come close together like family,” because of the opportunity to train, try, win, or lose together.”( The Mental Benefits of Sports, Kathryn Watson, para. 8) Winning and losing as a team is very important to learn how to do. Everyone has to work as a group in something of their life and no one wants to work with a sore loser or winner. Leadership qualities can, “range from being a good character, to respecting others, to being task oriented can be accomplished in both team and individual sports,” because of that “team mindset” ability.(What Do Youth Sports Teach Our Children Really? Suzanne Pish, Michigan State University, para. 6) The “team mindset” is a key thing to strengthen leadership qualities. Leaders are what makes up teams or groups of people or student athletes. Something to improve leadership is, “encouraging and inspiring team members to attain their own personal goals and reach their potential can help you become a better leader.”(Goals to Increase Leadership Skills for Personal Development, Laura Jerpi, para.5) Also, students that are more task oriented or who have better interpersonal skills tend to be healthier than an average human being. Leadership is an significant title to be able to claim. Having the title can get people a long way in

The Student-Athlete Leadership Team is a program that was designed in order to develop the leadership skills of our student-athletes and will be facilitated by North Atlanta High School’s own Andre Regan.

Discussion topics will include accountability, self-awareness, resiliency, communication, collaboration, and empathy with and for teammates and coaches, in hopes that the Student-Athlete can help their team on and off the playing field.

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

I am involved in many clubs, sports, and volunteering opportunities including tennis, track and field, art service club, ceramics club, arrupe club, W.I.S.H club, and Landow Performance training. All of these activities have taught how to be a leader in and out of Regis. Specifically, club tennis and Regis tennis have taught me how to work as a team with my peers. During the Regis tennis season, freshman year, my partner and I lost many matches, which crushed our confidence. However, through supporting and helping each other, we overcame our loses and improved our game. This applies to NHS, because my perseverance and patience allowed me to not only regain confidence while playing, but it allowed me to grow my character. Additionally, I am now able to see the goodness in everyone I encounter from playing tennis. Outside of Regis, I am involved in a club tennis league at the Pinery where I have taken on some leadership roles including encouraging my friends to join, and showing my peers that perseverance and training to pay off.

Since childhood, I have had a chance to develop my leadership, organizational skills, and problem solving through all of these

A broken neck. A ruptured appendix and emergency surgery. Bilateral tendon tears. A severe, permanent ankle injury. Unfortunately, the majority of these injuries have caused mild chronic pain. I, the leader of the volleyball and basketball team, had to sit the bench for the majority of both seasons. This is when my leadership role changed. Ambition. My strong desire to succeed and perform to my best kept me playing through the pain and kept me doing everything I could, even while I sat on the bench. My ambitious character spurred from these ridiculing injuries and formed me into a determined and persistent young

Throughout my life, I have frequently been a part of a team. Whether it was in an athletic, academic, or employment sense, I have learned many life lessons and values solely because I was a part of these teams. Growing up, I was involved in countless team-based sports in which I had a number of roles. There were times when I had to step up and lead, and times where I had to learn to take a step back and follow. I learned that I was only a small part of the success that happens and that the ultimate goal of the team was

Coaching wrestling has been, and continues to be, one of the most meaningful and heartfelt experiences of my life. Wrestling has helped define my personal character, teaching me discipline, and enabling optimal performance under pressure and stress. I am grateful for the opportunity to pass this on to other student-athletes. The impact I have on their lives, as well as the one they have on mine, transcends the competition of sport. Simultaneously, I progress as a leader and role model, while they develop character and work ethic as young adults. I have been there for these athletes since the beginning of their high school career. Witnessing and being a part of their evolution has been an amazing experience. Whether it’s the smile on their face

Captains of sports teams are given the stereotype that they are the most athletic player on the team, scoring the most goals and handling the ball best.
