Recommended: Understanding being a leader

The first time where I felt proud of myself was when I was given the opportunity to be the captain of the varsity dance team my junior and senior year of high school. This was so important to me because it was voted on by my teammates and coaches. The fact that they felt that I was the right person to help lead the team made me so proud of myself. In order for me to accomplish this goal I had to do many things leading up to my junior year. During my first two years on the team I had to show my love for the dance and the team. I was determined to try my absolute hardest at every practice from the beginning till the end in order to show my coaches and teammates how much I cared about this. I made it a goal to be respectful and caring to every teammate and coach that I had throughout my years on the team. …show more content…

I never wanted a teammate to struggle to be at practice because something else was bothering them. The absolute most important thing that I made sure I did in order to accomplish this goal was to keep a positive attitude. I made it a must to want and enjoy going to practice everyday. I believe that people feed of one another’s attitudes. If I had a bad attitude, my team will also and then we would not gain anything at practice. I wanted to make sure that not only me but all of my teammates and coaches did not dread coming to practice everyday. I knew that all of my work and determination to be a good teammate payed off when I was given the opportunity to be a captain junior year, and then I did well enough to once again be a captain my senior

  • Pros And Cons Of Being A Cheer Captain

    Something I have learned from past cheerleaders is that a bad attitude is toxic to our program and tends to keep our team from reaching its full potential. I try my best to always stay positive and keep a smile on my face to not only make practice enjoyable for me but for the whole team. We have seen how bad attitudes can affect our program, but imagine what a few good attitudes could do. This all comes back to the captains and how they deal with certain teammates that are not contributing to the

    I am a runner. I was selected to be a cross country captain for my senior year and I had set myself a realistic goal of being one of the top five finishers at the state meet in the fall. I never had the thought that I could not do it; I knew I was going to be up there with the best. When the state meet came and I traveled with the team as captain, that race became one of the most memorable of my cross country career but not for the reasons I expected.

  • Athletic Training Personal Statement

    711 Words  | 2 Pages

    Both on an off the field, my enthusiasm and motivation to obtain a goal is a trait that I am very proud of. I have faced many tasks where a leader had needed to step up and I am always willing to do so. I am also willing to get help when I need it. If I can’t complete a task by myself I do not mind asking a classmate, teammate, friend or a teacher for guidance. By bringing that openness and leadership to University of Charleston’s Athletic Training Program I believe that I can also attribute to the University of Charleston’s Mission Statement “to educate each student for a life of productive work, enlightened living, and community involvement.” By bettering the Athletic Training community by providing care to our Athletes I believe that I will be a great addition to the Athletic Training

  • How Track Changed My Life

    It then started to get harder and each day was a different workout to help me and my teammates improve. I was at a point where all I could do was attend school, go to practice and go home. Each day I was beyond tired. At a point of time I felt like giving up and going back to my regular life, and regular schedule. As the coach started to notice how I felt, he pulled me to the side and started to question what was going on. I explained, but everything I said was not a good enough reason. My coach told me, “If this is what you really want you won’t give up, no matter how hard it may get you will overcome it.” That day I learned a valuable lesson, to never give up.

    I chose to observe the practices at State College for Track and Field. I primarily focused on the distance team with John as the coach. When I arrived at the first practice I observed Coach John talking to the team at the beginning of their practice. He was going over what they should focus on during their first track meet, which was coming up. His positive attitude stood out the most. He put his emphasize on having fun. He stressed the importance that they work as hard as they can to achieve their best performance but his final words were, "Have fun!" I started to realize what he stressed most for his team and that was to achieve the goals they set for themselves.

    The core values of respect and dignity are the elements that held us together as a team and I was not giving up because we worked too hard to win games and to move forward and because of that I stood up and went above and beyond for the team. The difference is not everyone might have done that if they got injured, however, because I considered all of my teammates equals I believe that it was the just and right thing to do because otherwise we would probably have lost the game. In addition, I was not thinking about myself it was about the team as a whole and the effort it took to get where we were at was not an easy task and it met everyone’s needs because we were not

  • Personal Narrative: Ballaban Field

    470 Words  | 1 Pages

    Waking up at five in the morning isn't easy, especially when it's summertime. But that was my reality every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My dad would take me to Ballaban Field and just before practice I would lay down on that field and talk with my teammates for a few minutes. Then practice would start and the next three hours were the most challenging physical times of my life. First we stretched, this was the time to get our mind and body ready for the gauntlet that the coaches would throw down in front of us. Then coach would send offense or defense into the weight room first. If you didn't lift first then you immediately took your shirt off because you didn't want to throw up on your shirt. We'd run and run, surpassing our own expectations of toughness and grit. After running my body ached all over, but I knew we still had an hour of intense lifting ahead. After practice, I would be totally exhausted but satisfied knowing I

    I was very proud of myself, and that my coach saw how hard I tried and saw my passion of cheerleading. Being a captain was a great responsibility, making sure that everyone is on the same page and on task. Although this did not happen in high school, but in middle school it still shows leadership skills. This year in both track and field and cheerleading, I was more experience with these activities at a high school level than the freshman. So this year I felt like a leader/role model to the new members by helping them whether it was with the cheers, technique, stunts and schedule in cheerleading.
