I’d say my favorite part would be the connections made with everyone on the team. These bonds have been needed to bring success on the field.
What was it like to be a captain during the pandemic?
It has definitely been hard and we’ve had to make some adjustments with what we do before and after practice. It has been a challenge and we’ve had to come up with alternatives to normal practice. Overall, though, it has still been very fun!

The pros of being a captain is the ability to have a bond with everyone on the team. Being able to help behind the scenes and leading the team to success has been great too. I can’t really think of any cons! I have really enjoyed the experience so far.
