Playing three years of varsity football taught me invaluable lessons in leadership and teamwork. As a senior member of the team, I took on a mentoring role, guiding younger players through drills and offering advice during games. Working closely with my teammates through intense practices and challenging games, I learned the importance of clear communication, trust, and adaptability. Together, we developed a strong sense of camaraderie, always pushing each other to be our best on and off the field. This experience not only strengthened my skills as a leader but also taught me the power of teamwork in achieving common goals.
