This knowledge allows him to understand the bigger picture, as well as to help his teammates reach their full potential. In this team setting, Sean’s leadership skills are quite evident. During games, Sean can always be heard leading the cheers or encouraging his teammates to pick up their efforts. What has impressed me the most with Sean is that he will continue to pick up and encourage his teammates even when he is not performing up to his own standards. This is a rare quality and the sign of a true leader.”
