Akshat Sharma

I’m Akshat, and I’m running for Badminton First Team Captain. Over the last two years, I have played regularly in the first team and this year I have played every match including BUCS Nationals and am playing varsity. This experience and dedication has given me valuable insight into how the team runs and how to captain it.

This year I have captained the Medics Cricket Team and have gained experience leading a team, keeping everyone motivated, and making sure things run smoothly. I’ve learned how to communicate well, deal with any issues and get the best out of everyone. I’m confident I can bring this experience to the badminton team and help us achieve even more.

I also have experience booking train tickets and organising fixtures which is an important skill for first team captain.

Next year, I will offer extra training sessions for anyone who wants to put in more time to improve their game. Additionally, I will organise optional fitness sessions outside of training. They’ll focus on endurance, agility, and strength, helping us all get fitter. For anyone who wants to improve their shots, I plan to offer multifeed during our sessions. This will be a great way to improve our skills and there’ll be lots of opportunities to join in!

If I’m elected, I’ll make sure the team stays focused, organised, and motivated getting the best results at BUCS as possible. I also plan to work with the whole squad trying to all improve together.

Thanks
