“I have been told by many teachers and coaches that I am a natural leader and they count on me to guide my classmates/teammates by example or by my constant positive attitude. I often enjoy hanging out with kids for fun or to help out the Mini Camp program my club has. I also feel being apart of the leadership program would benefit me because it would further my experience and leadership skills in a different setting and get feedback from coaches on how to do even better as a leader.  I believe that watching other players grow and develop could help me improve as a player by giving me a different perspective of the game.”
