Thank you. It’s great to be here. I’d like to take a moment to talk about the time and effort this team needs.
We are one team, one family. We all hurt, and we all want to do something to help improve this situation. We can work, build, and restore this team together.
Tonight, I’d like to talk about how I can help make this team a not only better and more friendly environment but a stronger, winning team.
On, Monday I constructed up a plan to better our team.
The chaos and violence on the team, and the people who aren’t really caring will change. The attitudes and effort, will change. This isn’t just a sport, it’s a hobby, a lifestyle, an opportunity to be something great. This isn’t just soccer, this is a team, a family, and a home to many kids who really love this sport. …show more content…

I may not be the best at soccer or even the best on the team, but I can tell you this. I’ve been a leader before to other clubs and activities so I know how it is to run the show and be able to build a strong team after we have started with nothing.
I speak the truth for all of you, and for everyone on this team who doesn’t have a voice.
Two weeks ago I saw this team falling to the ground. I saw the lack of excitement and enjoyment in the faces on this team. That’s not what soccer is.
I refuse to let the fun leave this team and leave the sport that we all once loved so much.
That’s why I am running for this team’s captain. To end the lack of effort and bring back the team spirit. To bring back the winning games and the hard working practices.
In the world I come from, if something is broken, you fix it.
If something isn’t working, you replace it.
So now we make the change. To better this team and not just as individuals, but as a whole.
Aren’t you tired of taking L’s?
Aren’t you tired of not having fun at the sport you used to love the

In the transition of recreational soccer to competitive soccer, many aspects of the game changed. The game got faster, the girls get meaner, and a leader had to rise. Leaders are hardworking, responsible, and possibly a role model to others around them. Stripping on the blue captains band, either resting at the top of where my sock folds or molding the shape of my arm, is how I have shown leadership in the eight years of playing competitive soccer. The captains band represents an intuition of the burning desire to lead a group of young women throughout the duration of a ninety-minute game.

So, I opened the door to listening to them and their suggestions by using the cooperative-style. This style involved sharing decisions with the team (page 31). I gave them direction, provided instruction and only used discipline when only necessary plus I allowed the athletes to make decisions and assume responsibility (page 31). I accepted guidance from my staff and parents, too. The team’s culture changed for the better and became our social architecture that fueled the team psyche.

However, over the years my strategies to win have constantly evolved. This year, my approach was simple: emphasize hitting over pitching. After extensive statistical research, it became clear to me that such a strategy typically translated into winning. My scheme paid off; the “Cavaliers” won the league for the first time ever. Five years ago, I barely understood how the scoring worked, so it was rewarding to finally win with a newfound understanding of numbers.

Soccer isn’t just knowing how to pass the ball, it's the fluidity of how well one team can work together, what key components make a team mesh mell, why the teams would strive for perfection, how hard one will be willing to work to put forth their best effort for the entirety of the team, and what will they be willing to sacrifice. It's what separates the talented players from the great players. Passion and drive are important because without it, you can’t ever hope to achieve something you have no desire for. The passion to continue my work, to continue my pursuit in a career of criminology, to strive to be the best I can do all stem from the work ethic that I developed through the teachings of soccer. With utmost passion, everything else will
