LEADERSHIP ESSAY

[AM]

SHOULD i be writing about a sporting achievement in my leadership essay .............like how a basketball team turned around under my supervision

Thank you for your inquiry.

This answer to this question depends on what your other experience were and what your involvement was with this team. If you were a volunteer coach of this team, this might be a great story. If this were an adult recreational league team or a high-school team that you played on, I would recommend against using it. What is the context?

I am the captain of the college basketball squad.The coach was a recovering alcoholic ,conspicuos by his absence. We won a nailbiter final against arch rivals after losing the finals to them for three consecutive seasons.I was instrumental in the win in the finals and generally guided the team to success

Thank you for your inquiry.

Was this in college? Was this inter-collegiate? Division 1? Was this high-school? Was this professional?

Thank you for your inquiry.

My apologies -- I missed the word "college" in your post. Sorry.

Yes -- I think that this would be fair game. You seem to have some obvious obstacles that you led your teammates to overcome. I think that this could be explored. Of course, I don't know what your other options are, but this one should be appropriate.
