Election post
Hi Bolt, I'm Danielle and I would love to be your Team Captain this year! This is my final year of university cheer and joining Lightning three years ago was one of the best decisions I've made during my time here at UCL. I've not only fallen in love with the sport but I've met some of the best people on these teams. I'm super proud of the progress we've made on Bolt so far and would be honoured to continue harnessing our team spirit as your captain.
Over the years, I've developed some skills necessary to be a good captain. Whilst studying abroad last year, I coached new cheerleaders and boosted team morale in preparation for our final showcase (which was a success!). I've also had team captain roles, like being Secretary-General for Model United Nations, so I'm experienced in making the decisions and dealing with the back-end admin necessary for a smooth competition season. Having been on Bolt two years ago, I'm also familiar with how the season unfolds so I can help anticipate challenges and guide the team through them.
Beyond my experience, I'm always around as a friendly face for anyone to share ideas and concerns with. Bolt is already so cohesive as a team and I can't wait to (hopefully!) organise more opportunities for us to bond through team socials.
Lightning love,
Danielle 💜⚡
