1. Leadership development is important to me for several reasons. A leader is someone who guides a group of people to be more productive and successful in their work. An entire organization can take after the character of its leader.

I have had to watch over a group of girls who were not friends outside of soccer. I had to help keep a good dynamic within the team and makes sure the girls had plenty of bonding experiences. I got to know them all individually and it was very interesting. It will be interesting to lead a more diverse group of people and help them
