My lesson as a team leader is to embrace the differences in character, value, attitude and feelings that exist among different people with different backgrounds. I have learnt on the importance of being in a team, in success, and how trusting on people contributes to both individual and team success. I have learnt that my self-sacrifice does not only add to my success but also means a lot to the people who depend on me. It has also enabled my reviews on the extent to which my errors and limitations may have on other peoples’ success. My ability to work on my errors has been improved as well as being a guide in assisting others to correct their mistakes. In volleyball, a player’s error or limitation, affects the success of the whole team. The chance added to my knowledge and skills on how characters, attitudes and habits develop: Such are the concepts that are of importance in the success, in different areas of life.īeing a team leader in volleyball has provided an invaluable experience in my life. As the captain, I developed from not only being a leader, but being a situational and diplomatic leader. I realized my leadership abilities, which I apply even in my daily life. My drive and team leadership abilities drove the team to be the second best in the region.īeing in this team added to my abilities and envisioned me on the level of importance that another person’s effort has on ones success. This was as a result of my zeal and power to motivate the members to work together and empower each other’s weaknesses and strengths. With this passion, I joined the team, and with the shortest time unimaginable I became the team leader. Watching this game for such a long time assisted me to learn the sport without having to go through a lot of training. My passion developed with watching the team work depicted by my mother’s team until I decided to join the sport. I used to admire the players as I watched every style, difference in the application of techniques, and skills. My journey to success started when I was young, and could accompany my mother to coach her volleyball team. This was until when I became a team captain of a renowned country volleyball team. I never believed in working with others in becoming successful. Louisa May Alcott’s quote ‘It takes two flints to make a fire’ never seemed realistic to me during my early days.
