"True Leadership". This expression goes many ways, however few that receive the honorable title actually stand up to par with it. Luckily for Sage Creek, the captains of the sports teams represent those words. Specifically, Julia Hayashi, one of the two captains of the varsity girl's volleyball team, the other being Dakota Marshall. In an interview with Julia on the topic of the 2015-2016 season, she credited her fellow captain with providing "guidance and support" on the topic of being the captain of the team. She also stated that being captain has made her "relationship with [her] coaches and teammates much stronger". Being captain also has earned her coach's faith in leading the team on the court. When asked what the best part of being the captain was she replied, " The best part of being captain is being the leader of the team, being able to support my teammates anyway I can and helping lead the way to being a winning team".
Last year Sage Creek's girls varsity volleyball brought back the school's first ever CIF banner, which was very historic considering it was only the school's second year and first varsity team. Doing that required a ton of motivation, something Julia also possesses. "To motivate my team I try to get them as excited as possible before games to keep them pumped, and when we're not playing well as a team, I try to keep everyone positive and united". Clearly this team is full of optimism and the explanations all point to the captains. She exclaimed that her goals for this season are, "to work on my skills, become a better overall player, and to be the best teammate and captain I can be!" In addition she and Dakota share the similar goal of obtaining another CIF banner to display in the gym as well as a winning season.
The future is looking very bright for this talented team, as only the season will tell what they can accomplish.
