Sport leadership is one kind of leadership’s process to get people involved in sports activity and lead the team becomes success.

CityU have formed Sports Team Council, which is a steering working group with the aims to lead and to serve the sports team community.

In the council, I had a chance to lead a group for a task of image building. We need to design products like poster, leaflet and camp tee according the main theme we decided of the year in order to gain the sense of belonging ad the publicity.

After completed the task, what I have gained are the communication and organizing skills. And the most important is growing in confidence, which can benefit in others further education.

All members in the team have a contribution as university given a platform to athletes developing their potential and showing their passion to work together to achieve goals.

The goals are not just about the champion but also the self-development and the self-fulfillment of every athlete
