Personal Narrative: Leading My High School Wrestling Team

438 Words2 Pages

When I think of leadership, I think of it as a skill that not everyone can develop. For me, it took numerous times of being a follower or a leader, before developing this skill and form the type of leader that I wanted to become. The particular leadership experience that I’m most proud of would have to be leading my high school wrestling team. I started off the season by enthusiastically creating an atmosphere that new members of the team would feel welcomed and strengthened the bonds I had with veteran members. At the end of the wrestling season, my wrestling team was triumphant in the eyes of the crowd and our coaches. We had placed 3rd in the CIF San Francisco Section with less than half of the weight classes of a full wrestling team.

    For instance, I feel great sense of pride when I reflect on my years of leading a Relay For Life. Knowing that my team has fundraised over $10,000 in 5 years, and was the first team in Pembroke Pines to raise $1,000 this year, gives me a feeling of satisfaction, because I know that the work my team and I are doing is making a difference. Another rewarding aspect to being a leader, is helping someone achieve his or her goals. For example, helping teach the beautiful game of water polo to my friends interested in playing for Flanagan, is often the highlight of my day. Last year, I had no experience in the water at all, but with the help of the seniors on the team then, I was able to improve and become a much better athlete.

    In life, even though we are told not to do so, a lot of us “count our chickens before they hatch”.

The top teams from the state finals the previous year had all lost most of their key pieces.
