A Thank You letter
For the past four years, I have been heavily involved in the cheerleading team. I have been a member of this squad since our very first practice in the cafeteria. This sport is my passion, and to prove it, I left my position on the volleyball team so that I could 100% dedicate myself to cheer. Dedication is important to me and I have never missed a practice without a doctor’s note. Since I have joined the team, I have not only grown as a skilled cheerleader, but as a person. It has improved my leadership skills and my social skills. I completely believe that I am the most qualified for the position of team captain, and I have many reasons why.
First of all, I am the only person on the entire team that has served as a top, base and backspot. Therefore, I am fully ready to not only teach others how to stunt successfully in every position, but I know how to watch for mistakes. I can quickly and sufficiently teach new members how to stunt, and also help experienced members to improve.
Second, I have the necessary leadership skills that a captain must have. I am not afraid to speak out and be heard by my team mates. I will get intense if I have to and I will always acknowledge those who work hard. I have the ability to choreograph routines for school performances, which I did last year when I was awarded the position of captain along with Kelsey. When we had a dance team, I took it upon myself to make up dance moves that we used in our routine. I fully understand what stunts go best with what counts, how our jump sequences work, and how much time the team needs to transition from one place to another on the floor.
Lastly, I believe that I am best suited for this position because I am very prepared, as I have had a year of experience in this field. I was given the title of captain last year and I believe that I did a very good job. Working with Kelsey was a growing experience for me. I learned a lot from her during that time including both leadership and fitness

    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…

    I believe that I exhibit leadership skills in school, both in class and on the hockey field, which has helped further develop my organizational and leadership skills.

    How Cheerleading Is A Sport

    Over the years, I've cheered for multiple teams. Furthermore, all of the teams I have been on are filled with unique and diverse people. However, the most important thing is that you can trust all of your team mates. Trust is vital for all teams that you are a part of. Whether it is football, basketball, lacrosse, et cetera. If the team doesn't have trust, regardless of talent, it will not be a winning team. Everyone is at risk during any time while cheerleading to be injured and you have to trust everyone around you that they will try their best to keep you and themselves as safe as possible. Also, when you are on a team, you get the chance to become closer to the people who are around you. You get to practice with your team, you compete with your team, and you perform with your team. Sooner or later you end up closer than you once were. That is my favorite part of being on a team. Normally, by the end of a season you all have grown to be a cheer family that are still going to be close even after the season is…

    Please Describe Your Experience of Working in and Leading Teams

    I am a strong team player and where necessary I have taken a back seat allowing more capable members to take the leadership role. For example in the Indian dance team, of which I have been an active member for six years, I contribute primarily as a dancer. Choreography, which is the imperative requirement for a team leader is not my forte and hence I contribute as a participant and I manage the budget or welfare. However this does not limit me from contributing to the team in terms of creative dance moves or stage management. I am open to criticism and consider it essential to share something, which might bring out a better performance. I also encourage the team and organize social events to create opportunity for the team to get to know each other beyond the work…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A Volleyball Team

    Approaching this season, I constantly deliberated if I would play my senior year due to the fact that I am not the most valuable player. However, thinking about not playing the sport I loved with my teammates, I decided to complete my final season. Once deciding to play, I came to the realization that I would not be playing every game and would be sitting the bench. Although for many this would be defeating, I decided to make it a positive role on my team. As a leader on the B side of my team, which plays the starters everyday in practice, I made it my responsibility to push my team to be ready to compete and push the starters to win the state title.

    Definition Essay Leadership

    Leadership is example. Being able to not only use your voice, but use your actions. Having those behind you follow you as you lead by example. This is the ability to translate intention into reality. A captain should lead not by telling his teammates how to do something, but showing them how to. He should lead on the field, make huge plays and his teammates will look up to him and know that he is their captain, and they want to do what he does. If a football player sees his captain playing horrible, and having horrible body language, they will lose confidence in themselves.…
