Rugby Club (Women's): Vice Captain

Hi I’m Zainab and I’m running to be next year’s Vice Captain! Being part of this club and the team has been one of the important and enjoyable experiences of my university life so far. I have a deep love and respect for all of our members, Wood Green (begrudgingly), and all things rugby.This year I have thoroughly enjoyed being a senior member of the team, being able to reflect and build on my experiences playing last year to become a stronger, more dependable player and teammate. It has been very important to me that members, new and returning, feel supported, encouraged and looked after.

I believe that I would be a strong Vice Captain as I am versatile, determined and well organised. Throughout the season I have stepped up to go through extra drills, offer help, advice and support whenever it was needed. I’m reliably skilled and have a strong knowledge of the game and the role of a forward. I’m able to give advice on a variety of positions, with the flexibility and experience of having played front row, second row, flanker and number 8. One of my biggest goals I hope to achieve as Vice Captain is to lead and support the forwards to be at their strongest and most dangerous. I strongly believe that if I were to get this role, I will bring confidence to the team through my leadership. I will also work hard alongside the Captain to maintain our welcoming environment and fiercely formidable team. It would be my pleasure to learn from everyone, support and lead as Vice Captain.
