Leadership Definition and Example

To me, leadership is being a servant leader by being an example of how to act and work together. This can be done by putting others before yourself in order to accomplish a common goal or task.

 

One time I have seen leadership in the context of sport or wellness was when I played volleyball my freshmen year in high school. Being on the freshmen team, it was very easy for us to not put in 100% effort because we didn’t know how the program was run. However, the captains and teammates on JV and Varsity alike lead us by being examples of how to push others to do their best and how to be accountable, not only for being on time for practice, but also by making sure we didn’t waste time during water breaks. The captains were focused, helped the team work together, and also made sure everyone was okay both physically and mentally. They didn’t do this in a rude or self-centered way, but they were very respectful and approachable in the way they did it. As I grow in my leadership skills, I hope to take things I learned from my volleyball program and incorporate them into my day to day life.

About Me

Hi my name is Anna Mattei and I am a first year at Ohio State. I am currently in the Health Sciences major and plan on going to Physician Assistant school after undergrad. In grade school I played volleyball and basketball and continued to play volleyball, lacrosse, and sand volleyball into high school. I also went back to my grade school and coached volleyball to 4th, 6th, and 7th graders.

Other than sports, I love to do hot yoga, lift weights, bake, and paint gifts for friends. At Ohio State, I’m most excited for trying new things, meeting new people, living on my own, and going to football games, and I want to get involved in intramural sports and some clubs.
