Elected
What will you bring to this role (e.g. experience, skills or qualities)?

Hey I’m Jack! I’m the Men’s Captain of UCL Boat Club.

This is what I will bring to this role:

  • As Men’s Captain of UCL Boat Club, I coordinate our Novice Programme, taking athletes within a squad of 60+, from beginners to competing at a national level.

 

  • I have extensive experience in leadership positions, including pioneering a sports programme and league events of over 400 members, at my sixth form college, which previously had no sports teams.

 

  • I have been involved in sports for most of my life, from swimming to cricket and rugby at school, and most recently rowing at UCL.
What do you hope to achieve in the role if you are elected?
  • Opportunity: Sport should be open to EVERYONE. I want to encourage all our students to get involved in a new sport – I hope to work with our Sports Officer to support clubs in expanding their development programmes. 

 

  • Promotion: Many of our large sports events don’t get the coverage they deserve, while many of our smaller clubs are neglected. I plan to advocate for greater promotion of our Varsity events, and increase exposure for our smaller clubs.

 

  • Community: I would like to see a greater breadth of clubs involved in our UCL Leagues programme, to help foster our TeamUCL community.
Please summarise why students should vote for you.
  • In short, sport has made my university experience. I want to be a part of the team who will improve the experiences of those involved in sports at UCL. 

 

  • My ambitions for TeamUCL and experiences within sport, situate me well for this role. I am the most enthusiastic candidate, and I am steadfast in my desire to make an impact, improving TeamUCL and elevating the experiences of all those involved in Sport. I am determined to give others the opportunity to access every type of sport and hopefully thrive within their community as I have done.
