I am standing for 3XI Captain as I have had the best year of hockey in the club, and want to make next year even better!

UCLWHC has been a huge part of my university experience so far - I joined the club in September as an unsure fresher, and since then have had the opportunity to play great hockey and make some amazing friends along the way. The 3s team this year has been wonderful; I truly feel as though it has become a hockey family, and it will be fantastic to replicate and build upon that for next year's freshers and returning players. 

I am naturally hard-working, organised, and disciplined (as well as party animal at Scala!!)  and am keen to gain some leadership experience, so what better place to do that in other than hockey?! As captain, I will maintain the supportive and engaging atmosphere we have achieved this year, encouraging all team players to be active on and off the pitch, attend training regularly, and participate in socials - Phineas won't know what's coming when the 3s turn up! I will take every opportunity to foster the team spirit and help team bonding, focusing especially on inter-team socials, collaborating with other captains to really aid integration, and make the club as inclusive and welcoming as possible. 

I am so excited at the prospect of becoming captain - I will do my very best to motivate the team to progress in every way. If you vote for me, I guarantee that we will have another FABULOUS year of hockey!
