I want to be the intermediate teams captain because I am very passionate about cricket and I believe that my understanding of the game can help the team. I believe that my experienc as both as a player and in past leadership roles has equipped me with the ability to make strategic decisions, communicate effectively, and lead by example. Encouraging women in sports and especially in cricket is a cause that is very dear to my heart and I believe as captain I can help others do the same.
I played a little cricket in high school but since coming to uni, joining this society has allowed me to develop my cricket skills and understand the game much better. I had so much fun playing softball this year that I decided to start learning hardball as well, and my progress from a beginner to a stage where I can learn hardball has been rapid.
As intermediate captain, I would want to encourage and support other members of the society, particularly those enjoying softball to try hardball and develop their abilities in both forms of the sport.
I would make a great intermediate captain because my journey in this sport this year began from scratch, so I understand how difficult it can be to try new things, but how rewarding it is to develop these skills. I have also had lots of experience playing in other team sports, such as football, so I have the leadership, organisation and dedication to be a good captain. Having experienced both wins and losses in other sports, I have the skills to encourage, support and uplift other team members and help them develop soft skills like teamwork, communication and resilience, which you get from playing sports.
Next year, I would love to try and increase the number of members playing hardball and softball, because I think you gain different experiences from playing both, with softball being less intense and focusing on learning and hardball allowing you to develop these skills.
