How do you envision a successful season of Coeds? What makes a team successful?
As a leader, how would you help move the team toward success?
to create a positive and safe environment where everyone feels welcomed, included,

that other team leaders created for me, such as meeting together on our first day of
school, eating lunch together, team bonding events on weekends, sleepovers, extra
practice sessions, and adding new community service projects through our Coeds
Cares initiative. I will acknowledge each team member and compliment them on their
improvement to make sure they see the growth in themselves and realize how important
they are to the success of our team. I will also have fun and build genuine relationships
with the girls as I have learned that at the end of the day, win or lose, we will always
