I believe I would be a good candidate because I am dedicated to the sport. I have played for 10 years and spend most of my free time practicing basketball. I like basketball for many reasons. I am competitive and enjoy challenges. I also like the strategy of the game and the aspect of everyone having a role to play on the team. I enjoy having my team rely on me and I want to rely on my team. I want to be my varsity team’s captain because I want to lead my team. I want to be the person who lifts my team up when they need it and celebrates successes with them. I like to play hard and feel the sense of accomplishment that comes along with that. I have played with the team for three years and have wanted to be team captain since I was a freshman. I play hard and work hard for my team because I am focused on this goal. If I played for your team, my goal would be to play hard for the success of your team.
