Field Hockey Captain

Being chosen to be the leader of a team is an honor. I have come to realize this as we passed our midway point of our season this past week. Being the captain of my field hockey team brings many responsibilities and also many privileges. I have grown a strong bond with my coach, fellow captains, and most importantly my team. It has also been very strange being a captain. I remember my freshman year when I looked up to my captains as great leaders and I wanted to follow in their exact footsteps. Now that I'm in that position, it doesn't seem real. And to think that it's almost all over, is even more unbelievable. I have the opportunity to play in college, but what will I do without the team that I have grown up with? To me, the scariest part of being a senior captain is the thought of never having the team relationship again. When the season does finally end, it's going to be very sad and I will definitely be crying.
