Hiya, I’m going for back captain for next season! :D
Playing position of number nine for the team and having previous experience playing different back positions, has allowed me to get a better understanding and knowledge of how the backs work individually and as a whole. Having to communicate with the rest of the backs during a game, with decision making, especially with number 10, I feel has improved my ability to think quickly in both intense and relaxed circumstances. I feel I will utilise this improvement to help make me a good back captain. Despite my season being cut short, I look forward to working and playing with the rest of the back players again when I am back to my bubbly, focused self.
Regarding the role of the back captain, I’m a team player and can communicate well which will help with my decision making and problem-solving skills. It will allow me to build further trust and relationships with the team, which is both important on and off the pitch. Having experience in wellbeing and mentoring, I feel this will help when providing support and feel I can be a friendly face to turn to as I’m conscious of the importance of it.
As back captain, I will be working closely with the forward captain. Encouraging all players with support and positivity, whilst making all players feel included, will be important as back captain. Working with the forward captain to help with warm-up and cool down at both training and matches whilst maintaining an optimistic mindset. As back captain, I will be organising team talks, updating the BCUS app and continuing the communication between both players and referees before home games. I will also be checking with the players’ general wellbeing and providing support when possible, such as keeping track of player injuries, while maintaining confidentiality.
I’m looking forward to being able to carry on playing, with this current season being cut short, but especially looking forward to playing with a motivated team, all enjoying the sport together. I would appreciate your vote as being part of the committee for next season to carry on playing and working with a thriving team! <3
