Summary

Driven by a motivational leadership style, I significantly enhanced player performance and team bonding at the Athletic Institute Of Excellence. Leveraging skills in individual instruction and performance goal setting, I fostered resilience and sportsmanship, achieving notable improvements in player progress through innovative training programs. My approach combines intelligence with calculated strategies to elevate athletic achievements. I feel I can apply these abilities in many fields. The skills that I have learned from coaching can significantly improve my ability in my desired future career as an engineer. Furthermore, I believe that the leadership qualities I have learned from both coaching and being a captain will translate to my goal of becoming an officer in the U.S Air Force. I think the skills that I have developed throughout high school will continue to improve throughout my time at The University of Wisconsin Madison and will make me a successful engineer and officer.
