Cheer Captain Speech
Happy with the Turnout

“Sometimes what you want isn’t always what you get, but in the end what you get is so much better than what you wanted.” From the time I was a little girl I had always desired to be the Winnfield Senior High School Cheer Captain. I’ve always had great leadership skills and I have a great passion for cheer. Cheer is “my thing” and it always has been. As soon as I found out that I made the WSHS Cheer team I was ecstatic! “MOM! Look!! I MADE THE TEAM!!!!” I had waited my whole cheer career just for this moment. Throughout the years of being a WSHS Cheerleader, my love for the team grew more and more each year. My junior year of high school I tried out for what I thought I had always wanted, Cheer Captain.
I worked for hours upon hours, day and night. I toiled with my cheer binder all of Christmas break. I was determined. I knew that if I made the WSHS Cheer Captain that I would have everything in my binder. I had planned out every single thing from as simple as the tags we hand out on Fridays to every single pep rally. I

I got to help Kayla with all her ideas, I worked well with her and the team, and everything got done when it need to get done. Every now and then when Kayla couldn’t be present I got to step up and take her place. I didn’t realize how much of a job she had until I had to fill her shoes. I loved stepping up and being the only one in charge, but I was even more thrilled when she got back. I love being Co-Captain. I had never thought that, that was what I had really wanted all along.
God knew what he was doing, and it was his plan from the start. He knew that I would love my position and do a great job at it. Although I’m Co-captain, that doesn’t make me any lesser of a leader. Not all leaders have a title. If you would have asked me earlier in my cheer life, I probably would have said that I would settle for it. Now, I love it! It is the job for

    Dance Team Captain

    The term captain is synonymous with the term leader. By definition, a leader is someone who is in an advanced position to take the initiative in order to go forth and show the way. A dance captain should be able to make intelligent and creative decisions quickly and efficiently. Dance teams are all about unity. An exceptional group glides across the floor with all of its dancers moving as one. There are no individual standouts. No weak links. But there is one person whose job is to make the team as strong as possible, on the floor and off. It’s one thing to be a good team player, but it's another to be a good captain. Few will have the opportunity to feel the weight of the responsibilities and the happiness of knowing you're making a difference. Being captain of any type of organization in my eyes is a huge job. It’s teaching respect by showing respect. It’s helping 11 girls, including myself, strive and push themselves to be the best dancers I know we all can be. Having the title of captain doesn’t mean being the boss of everyone, being in the front in every dance, or just thinking that the captain should come before everyone else. Captains are the inspiration of the team. They’re the person that everyone on the team looks up too. Being a natural born leader is also a big role of dance team. That means having self-confidence, good communication skills, courage, clear desire to make progress towards a goal, and a fair degree of understanding your fellow teammates. Being a captain requires you to focus on the big picture, doing what’s best for your team even on your worst days. If you’re negative, the team will take on the same attitude, even if everyone else has had a great day. As captain of your dance team, you’ll definitely encounter some sticky situations, like having to confront your friends when they aren’t practicing full-out or telling an injured teammate that she’ll have to sit out a performance. But it’s…

    9/2/2016 I'm really looking forward for this weekend. Tonight I have volleyball practice and we get out early today. After practice I'm going to go home and get ready to go to the Senior football game. Most of my friends are going to the game so it should be a lot of fun. After the game I'm going to spend the night at Maddie's house, were probably not going to get any sleep. Saturday I'm going to my dad’s house and watch one of my favorite tv shows Teen Wolf. Sunday I'm most likely going to sleep half the day. Monday, is Labor Day so I don’t have to go to school "yay" and I might go to the…

    I am a leader. I have all the qualities that make a great leader, but I was not born this way.Experiences and how someone reacts to those experiences are what truly make a leader. One of the most influential experiences I have gone through is called the Lebanon High School Marching Band. I am certain that I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for marching band. Before coming to high school I already had leadership qualities, but band helped bring all those great qualities together and helped me get past my two major flaws: my lack of self-confidence and the fact that I was probably one of the shyest people you would EVER meet. When I joined marching band, I spent most of my waking hours sweating and suffering alongside wonderful people that I longed to…

    My cheer team, Spirit Celebration, practiced almost every night for the last month and could practically perform our routine in our sleep. This competition is what we prepared for all season. As our team gathers together, we stretch listening to our music over and over reviewing the routine in our minds. As we walk to the practice gym we glance at the other teams and laugh when they mess up. We performed our routine on the warm up mat perfectly. Walking to the on-deck area, we talk among ourselves with not a worry in the world. As we stand on deck we prayed not only to hit a clean routine but to have fun and that no would one get hurt. The emcee announces, “Performing now from Richardson, Texas, Spirit Celebration”, and it’s time to compete. The lights are bright and I can see nothing beyond the blue performance mat but black spots. The music starts and the crowd goes wild blowing air horns, banging wooden blocks together and trying to make as much noise as possible…

    Cheer Captain

    There are many different opinions out there about cheerleaders, many good, and some bad. Some think of them as the girls standing by the football field, but I think of cheerleading as a symbol of all the spirit that we can share, and a token of appreciation toward the team that’s being cheered on. Cheerleading is such a vital part to many sections of the school. If I was chosen to be a captain for the 2013-2014 year, not only would I make sure that any negative opinions were squashed, but the great qualities the squad holds, are emphasized. I have come along way since i started cheerleading. I remember my first day of cheer and how nervous I was to be trying something I’ve never done before, and how inexperienced I was. Throughout the season, I’ve always worked my hardest to pick up new dances, stunts, and cheers right away. Since most of the new girls joining cheer this year have never done cheer before, I find it a privilege to help them grow to become the best they can be athletically, and with their attitudes. I think an important quality of being a captain is always, always, including everyone! I feel like i dedicated my time to be the best cheerleader i can be and also the best person i can be for myself and i have accomplished it, but im not finished yet. I learn new things everyday, you learn in the process. I want the new girls to be the best they can be, i think i can really help them. Actually, i know i can. It's super hard to be confident and i learned that but i built up my confidence i want these girls to experience their first year of cheer and be like "wow". I've discovered myself in so many ways, i want the new team to do so as well. Cheeleading is something im very passionate about and i just want the world to know that. I know my schedule for the next school year will be a problem considering i might not be able to have cheer sixth period, but i will try my hardest to work something out. I need a chance. I…

    Camp Berwick

    I learned to jump right into a task and be a leader and help kids who struggled like I had. My second year at Berwick I flourished with responsibility and becoming construction crew head, which is uncommon for a second year at Camp Berwick but I knew I had to be a leader and step it up since my crewmates looked up to me. I learned construction and how to use the power tools better and how to properly guide my crewmates on how to safely use the saws when cutting from my mentor Dr.Stewart. My third year was my first full year as construction crew head, I had more crew members to be responsible for had to teach first years again safety and proper use of power tools. Taught leadership skills to the second years so they would work well with the younger crewmates on construction crew. I was later voted on the boy’s council at the end of the summer my biggest triumph in those three years. My fourth year I was a cabin head, construction crew head, and senior counselor I worked with staff to run the camp and figure out the daily activities. My fifth year I set the example, I was looked up to. Younger campers dreamed of my position I was glad that I could impact their life and as the senior counselor it was a lot of responsibility and made me a better leader by having more self-control when others are looking at me as the example. I wanted to show them how to be the best even though I made mistakes and still…

    My school pride has always been something I've been proud of. Coming to Manchester as a CHICE student wasn't always easy. My only way to school was my dad and my only way home was my mom. I always had to get here extra early and I was usually the last one to leave. Being in this position became an advantage and I soon became part of many before and after school clubs and activities. I also played three sports that I have dedicated myself to since freshman year. To me school spirit is about enjoying and loving what you do and committing to a new family since the first day you stepped foot as a falcon.…

    Secondly, a Sport Captain/Prefect represents his teammates and peers. Within the community I am deeply involved in a variety of sports. Since grade 8 I have represented the College every year in Swimming, Basketball and Water Polo, culminating in the honor of representing the college in the open teams for each of these sports. For my efforts in the sporting arena, last year I was awarded a bronze (4 or more sports) and silver (water polo) sport awards. In 2013 I also received a silver sport award for being a participant of 4 or more A teams. I have also been a member of the Met West 18 years and under Water Polo team for the last 2 years. I have a solid work and training ethic allowing myself to understand the importance of succeeding within the sporting arena and the work involved to achieve good results. Being involved in a diverse amount of sports uniquely positions me to represent the school sporting community. I feel I have the ability to relate to and therefore facilitate a successful sporting functions across the school and form an effective relationship between student, coaches and staff.…
