Global Leadership
Paper#1
Being one of the captains on my high-school soccer team Leadership experience happens everywhere, every time, and people don’t realize them until your followers or the situation let you know you are acting as a leader.

During the meeting, they told that since that afternoon I was named the other captain of the team. The reason were that I was improving really fast in my soccer, that I was the striker of the team, and that the other players were watching me as an example so because of all this reasons they made the choice
