To My Club Team,

Let me start off saying that I love each and everyone of you guys. I am here for the love of the sport, and my constant desire to improve. But most of all, I'm here to have fun.

I come in to put 100% of my effort, in hope everyone will as well. The one thing I admire most about club sports is everyones desire to want to come back to practice. Unlike varsity sports, where you have to go to practice, club sports is a place where you can be your best self. You don't have to be at the level of a division one athlete, and if you are congrats to you.

With club sports, the intensity isn't at a division one sport, unless you want it to be there. You can make club sports want you want too. If you want to be a casual teammate, go for it. But if you want to be the teammate everyone counts on and relies on, you can be that athlete as well.

Club sports is a very special thing, it's not like varsity athletics, but it's also not like intramural sports. You come to practice and you compete, but it's all for fun. Winning is always a nice perk, but we aren't going in with the hope of getting first place in our league. But if at the end of the day we are happy with our performance, then there's no harm no foul. But if not, there's the constant need to improve, which makes club sports such a unique.

All of you on this team make me feel like a mom, and you're all my children. I deeply care for each and every one of you. The last thing I would ever want is an athlete who is hurt or hating the sport. Because once again, we all come out for the pure love of our sport.

I will always come to practice with all my energy and a smile. I hope you will always want to come back to practice, even on the rainy and icky days.

Love,

A Loving Captain
