a Team

competitive. In middle school, we had tryouts, which I wasn’t use to before. Then we were split into two teams: A Team and B Team. When you look at the teams and think, A Team has to stand for the best players, while B Team is the bad players. No, that is not what that means at all. It just means that the players on the A Team had a greater skill level of basketball than the players on the B Team. Therefore, as I entered high school, I knew I wanted to…

When my team and I received the clue packet for the neighborhood game, we really didn’t know what to expect or what issue we were trying to address. So, without anything to create a plan of action around, we decided to review the only thing we were given, the packet of clues. After opening the packet, we each took a small pile of the clue cards and read aloud or noted what was written on them. This was an unplanned action yet, while reading the cards aloud, one of my teammates noticed that…

high school club team for my first time ever, I can say they were not a good team. The coach was harsh and tough on the beginners like myself and he made me want to quit playing. Mid way through the season he put me in the game and I had got the ball for the first time ever, I was so excited I couldn’t contain myself. I took the ball down the field and I shot, it felt as if time froze for me. The ball was zooming towards the goal, or at least that is what I had thought.…

Building a Team The most effective commanders build cohesive teams through their leadership. Mutual trust, shared understanding, and accepting prudent risk serve as principles for mission command. Mutual trust is the foundation of any successful professional relationship that a commander shares with his staff and subordinates. Shared understanding of the operational environment serves as the basis for the commander to effectively accomplish the mission. I can facilitate this understanding,…

football is something that can’t be just described in just a couple of words. When you go to a High School football game in Texas you can see faithful supporters filling the stands which are waving their hands and homemade signs in support of their team. You hear the cheers and screams from the crowd. You can smell the hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pretzels, and popcorn from the concession stands. The marching band playing loud to match the noise and energy of the crowd. This memory could not be…

Paying Student Athletes Success isn’t given. It's earned. On the track, on the field, in the gym. With blood, sweat, and the occasional tear. Most every athlete loves the game, and is willing to work their butt off, from being on the B team going to the A team, from jv to varsity, from high school to college. They all dream of that college scholarship that they may or not receive. What happens when they get there? They no longer have their mommies and daddies paying for every little thing.…

packaging engineering VO list. From a process perspective, the VO list is updated on a monthly basis by the packaging engineering group and the sourcing calendar by my team. To Bethany’s point, I have instructed my team to help Vito keep this list as updated as possible. Please keep in mind that despite the new tracking file, my team will continue to send e-mails to communicate the qualification approvals from engineering, request volume, sourcing progress, etc. Our intend is not to replace…

Candidate Garnica delivered a five paragraph order that lacked information and used filler words while briefing. She maintained good eye contact with the members of her team and was confident in her delivery. SNC failed to brief any of the "admin and logistics" and "command and signal" paragraphs. Although Candidate Garnica briefed a scheme of maneuver during the brief, it was obvious that she had not created an actual plan before beginning the execution. There was no clear transition between…

soccer club. There are two teams divided, one for amateurs and the other for the professionals. As a newbie, I was put in training with other beginners. Day by day, I practiced in the back-up team while looking at the other team training across the stadium, wishing to soon be one of them. I cannot stop imagining myself wearing my school’s jersey and playing along with many talented players in front of admiring eyes of people. At that moment, being qualified for the school team was the dream.…
