Hi, I’m Maya and I’m running for president in the sports elections for Derby Ravens. I am a first-year student and have been a competitive member of the team for a year. I have always been involved with sport including All-Star cheerleading for 4 years. I have amazing ideas that I hope will take Derby Ravens further and make us a fun and inclusive club.
One idea of mine is to make Derby Ravens a club that all members are proud and want to be a part of; inclusivity is a priority for me. My aim is to make pep and the competitive teams closer to avoid the divide splitting individuals. Hopefully, through charity events and attending pep training sessions, the team is able to get to know athletes and work together to create incredible events. I consider myself an approachable and f air person. I want all Derby Ravens athletes to feel they are able to come to me with any query, worry or suggestion and feel listened to and understood.
Another priority of mine is to have all training wear delivered to athletes as early in the year as possible. I believe it is important to have a training top early in the year to feel like a collective and part of team. This also applies to clothing like bows, jerseys and UoD sports hoodies. As well as this, I want all competitive teams to have an opinion on their uniforms as you are the ones wearing them! I want to know what you like and what you dislike so that you can enjoy your performance even more in a uniform you love. If our charitable events are a success, there is hope that some more equipment can be bought to encourage more skills and progression for you all.
I am a confident and very loud person that I can use to my advantage to be the best president possible for Derby Ravens. I want everyone to feel organised and will relay any information to you as fast as possible, so you have time to prepare and organise. I believe I am fair with decision making and will be able to pass on jobs to the rest of my committee when required. I want to work with committee like a well oiled machine to bring Derby Ravens the best of the best.
