Pros And Cons Of Being A Captain

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.

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

Leadership is being able to guide other students into being the best they can be. I am a leader who is always positive and cheering others on to achieve their goals. At my school, I have a position as the Vice President of Academics in National Honors Society. Since I have obtained this position, I encourage other students in this group to participate in service projects which is where one volunteers to help out the community in some aspect. These volunteering opportunities are good thing to do because it builds character and it is always fun helping others out. As a leader, I bring new ideas to the table on where we should help out in the community and anything that we could do in school that would fun and helpful. Along with participating in National Honors Society at my school, I am also involved in our Student Government Association. Although I do not have a leadership position in this club, I still engage in the activities that we do. For the past two years, I have gone to an annual meeting for leadership where multiple schools attend. At this meeting there are fun activities where you learn more about leadership and how to be a good leader. As a leader, these meetings help because it is always good to learn new

I have exemplified leadership in a couple different ways through out my high school career. One way of this is through leading my team members in cheerleading. I look out for my new team members, especially since they are learning a lot of new material. This can be stressful and difficult at times. I know this feeling since I was once brand new to the Mason Cheerleading Program and didn’t know any of the material. If I

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.

I think that if you were to ask my close friends or family, they would say that I am a natural leader and hardworking. As the captain of my lacrosse team, I am a leader on the field. In this position even though I strive to be the best I can, I find it more rewarding to watch my team succeed and improve above myself. I’m very passionate about motivating my team mates to be better and not just bossing them around. You can also find me as a leader of the Student Council at my school. Here I have been in charge of and organized countless events like the CB East’s annual Homecoming. This example also goes to show how hard working I am. I take these school events very seriously and I want every student to have a great time; I stay after school for

For me, leadership is about understanding your team, allowing team members to play to their unique strengths while providing opportunities to address personal weaknesses. A team, when managed properly, can accomplish as much as a single individual – times however many individuals serve on the team. As a high school student, I have leadership experience in all sorts of teams, but my experience in Science Olympiad is the most rewarding.

A leader is someone who puts all their needs aside and puts others first. A leader doesn't think just for themselves, but they have to think about their team. A leader has to put all the drama to the side and has to make their team join together as one. With doing this, their team can be emotionally stronger and better. A leader has to be a role model for the new and rejoining people on the team. If I was the color guard section leader then I would do all of the things I have said plus more. I would work harder not just with myself, but with the team. I would put all the drama and my feelings towards others aside and be a rightful leader to the team. If I have to make difficult choices I will not think about myself, but I will think about the

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

A famous quote from John Maxwell says, “A leader is one who knows the way, and shows the way.” Leadership is a trait I acquired from playing baseball. It is very important to have leadership as a child, a teenager and as an adult. In baseball I have to be a leader at my position. I play catcher which is a very important position because I see the whole field and manage the field.

The next year I was the team captain and I learned what it meant to be a leader. In doing so, I found my place on the team and in my world. I found the courage to stand up for team members and for all people who were excluded, different, or bullied. I led by example, “work hard, show kindness, stay supportive, accept others, be modest.”

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. In truth, captains have a lot of work they have to do that doesn't even involve playing the sport. Captains are the most looked at player of the game; other players, younger kids and coaches look to them to set examples. They have to set examples in every aspect of the game; athleticism might be part of their job but it is not limited to it. The captain of any sports team must set the leadership standard for commitment, confidence, intelligence, and attitude.

This year in basketball, I was selected to be one of our two team captains for every game. The coach selected me because of the way I lead my teammates. I keep myself out of trouble and try to be kind to all of the people in the school. You never know who may be watching and looking

Being the captain of my soccer team my senior year was a great experience. Finishing the season with being a top 10 team in the state served as a great memory in which every member of the teams had with one another. Following college, I became intrigued with bodybuilding and health. I have gone back to my old soccer team and shared my knowledge with the players on the team. I also offered to weight train anyone on the team. I personally trained a group and welcomed them to bring their friends to the local gym. My old soccer coach loved this idea and was a supporter of this idea. At first they were nervous because they had never weight trained before. This was a humbling experience in which I could help them gain confidence and teach them about

As captain, I work alongside the coach to help run the practices and teach routines to the rest of the squad. Over the summer, I also organized two fundraising activities including a Sweet Frog Day and a tag day at our local Giant Eagle to help fray the cost of our anual spring band trip. In addition, I also plan to have a majorette clinic this fall for elementary students who have an interest in twirling. I believe I am a good leader because I am honest, dependable, approachable, motivated and always willing to provide extra assistance and
