As Captain of my school’s varsity tennis team, my daily tasks are running practice, creating drills, and conditioning. Before each match I advise my team about our opponent’s weaknesses and strengths and talk about what we can do to win. When there is a conflict with two players, I listen to both sides, give my opinion, and encourage them to resolve the conflict on their own. Last week after we won our match, one of my teammates came up to me and told me how my advice helped her to win her game. That gave me a lot of pride knowing I helped someone do something that was important to our team and to themselves.
