Team Captain Monologue
-Christina's POV

This was it. All I had to do was block this last kick and I would be team captain. I've been waiting since last year and I'm not planning on letting one kick knock me off of my chance to be captain.

Taking in deep breaths of air I stood in the goal ready to pounce at any object trying to get in, looking straight I see the next kicker, Ayden. She's one of our best players I'll give her that, her foot work is great and her kicks, oh god her kicks are even better. I've never spoken to her, I usually keep to myself but I know for a fact that soccer is her main priority.

Ayden has been captain for as long as I can remember, the only reason why she's not up for it this year is because she missed sign up for team captain and …show more content…
The school years academics haven't been too hard. Plus I study almost every week! I'm telling you, I'll be fine." I said with a serious tone in my voice.

"Okay, I just want you to know that me and your mother are very proud of you and we want what's best for our little girl." He said.

I flashed him a bright wide smile letting him know that I understood and that was the end of the conversation, he turned the radio up and left me to my thoughts as we drove home.

"Hi honey, how was tryouts?" My mom said as dad and I were walking through the front …show more content…
I'll be sure to tell you all about it later but right now I really need to text Jack." I said closing the door, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek and walking towards the stairs up to my room.

"Tell him hi for me sweetheart!" She yelled from downstairs.

"I will!" I replied jogging up the stairs.
My mom has always liked Jack, she says,
'He's a good influence on you Chrissy, plus he's quite handsome.'

I mean don't get me wrong, Jack is a great guy and I'm lucky to have him but he's not as great as everyone makes him out to be. The boy is the captain of the football team so usually all that's on his mind is, you guessed it, football. He's never really cared much for his grades, he's always told me that he knows that some college will accept him for his skills in sports and I've never questioned him on that.

After taking a shower and putting on some clean, none sweaty clothes it was about eight-thirty.

I figured I should call Jack and apologize for blowing him off but it's not like I did it on purpose, I simply forgot he had wanted to hang out today. The phone rang three times before I heard a click and Jack's voice on the other side of the phone,

"Hey." Great, he's being distant with me

    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…

    Dance Captain Research Paper

    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. Being a dance team captain for the Mighty Marching Lions has so much more to do with choreography and precision. Because we are a part of a Christian marching band, our purpose and our duty to fulfill that purpose is ten times greater than that of a traditional marching band. Without God, we would not have this grand opportunity and because of that we have to do things differently than the world would. We as band members are all working towards a goal which is ministering and showing the world the power of youth through the will of God.…

    She said, “Despite it being our first game in all, we played well. We ran plays smoothly and all worked well together. We definitely will be working on zone defense and rebounding, because during the game we really lacked those skills. The junior varsity played just as well even though they are the youngest team we’ve had for ten years. Coach pushes us to work hard every practice, and that’s what we all need in order to reach the next level and win our games.”…

    Color Guard Captains

    There are very few people who are lucky enough to be a captain of a team. I am one of those lucky few people. On April 12, I had an audition to try out for a Color Guard Captain position. I had been waiting for that day since early February. On April 15th, the captains were announced. I heard my name, looked at Makayla Hurt, she heard her name, and we could not believe it. Over the weekend, I thought what can I do to help improve the team. Well I can improve skill, change attitude for the better, and how will the decision I made along with our coach of me being a captain affect the team.…

    Essay On Debate Captain

    I would like to be a Speech and Debate captain because I feel that I am committed to working, I yearn to teach, and I am capable of leading. In addition to the skills that I think I can offer, I also seek help benefit the team in more tangible fashions, such as through providing assistance to the new coach and giving afterschool practices more direction. Specifically, I think that as a captain I would be able to provide assistance to the new debate coach, Mike, through recruiting prospective students that Mike would otherwise have no prior connection with. Furthermore, I could also help to teach new recruits the basics and etiquette of debate and the general terminology so that they can acquire the most knowledge out of their lessons with Mike.…

    Coming To America-Personal Narrative

    After we finished running, he divided us into our grades. I was a tenth grader, so I went with the tenth grade group. I played with them for a while when one of the coaches told me to go play with the bigger kids. I was so excited! I didn’t know anyone in their group, but I didn’t have to speak English to play with them, so I just played. When we finished our fast day of tryouts, the coach asked me where I was from, and I told him I am from Kenya. He said, “Alright, see you tomorrow.” The next day I came, we ran a lot, andI don’t even remember if we played soccer. When I went home, I was so exhausted that I just went to sleep. The tryout went for a while, and everyone was trying his best to make the school team. The time came for the coaches to choose the team.
