Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar: the name itself strikes terror in the hearts of bowlers and captains all around the world. The Star of Indian Cricket, more like a GOD in India, he is the best player ever gifted to the game of Cricket and should be chosen as the sport personality of the year. He possesses all the strokes in the book and is probably the best cutter and straight driver of the ball today. His technique is impeccable, and he is professional at his approach. And He made the highest runs in a single calendar year.
Tendulkar is a batsman who does not like to be kept quiet, in tests or in one day Cricket. He always wants to dominate the bowlers, and he does an excellent job of it. He can tackle any kind of bowler. He is very deft on his feet, even to the best of pace bowlers and to the deceptive flight of world-class spinners. His strike rate in One day Cricket is over 85 runs per 100 balls, which is superb to say at least. He is excellent hitter of the ball and uses one of the heaviest bats in the game.
His technique is impeccable; he packs tremendous power and strength into his short, stocky frame, and his ability to time the ball is exemplary, making him the most dreaded batsman in One Day Cricket. He has had very few dry runs, because of his technique that is close to perfection- lovely body balance, sure feet movement, a solid defense, a wide array of strokes off either foot against both spin and pace, and an in-born ability to cope with the challenges of different wickets and conditions. He has developed the ability to treat bowlers all over the world with contempt and can destroy any attack with utmost ease. Due to his technical purity, he can notch up a string of useful scores even when he is not in the best of nicks.
The Little 'Master- Blaster' made the highest runs in a single calendar year in One Day Cricket in 1998, amassing 1894 runs in 34 games at an average of 65.31, including nine hundreds and seven fifties. He broke his own world record of 1611 runs set in 1996. He has also crossed 1000 runs marks in other three years 1994, 1997 and 2000. He is the first man to scale the summit of 10,000 runs in one-day cricket.
In the August 30, 1905 edition of Detroit’s Free Press, the sportswriters ran a small blurb announcing the arrival of a Detroit Tigers rookie, Ty Cobb. They stated, “Cobb left the South Atlantic League with a batting average of .328. He will not pile up anything like that in this league, and he doesn’t expect to” (Allen 177). Their prediction ironically rung true. Cobb hit better than their projected .328 batting average twenty times in his twenty four seasons (McCallum 217). Tyrus Raymond Cobb’s prolific career leads many fans and historians to believe that he deserves the title of greatest hitter of all time. However, some critics would argue that Ted Williams warrants this distinction. Unfortunately for Williams and his fans, the hitting prowess of Williams falls short of Cobb’s. While Williams arguably displayed a great hitting ability, Cobb remains the better batsman.
Wayne Gretzky was a star from the start of his life. He was a natural born leader, and had a successful career while being a leader. Wayne was first a leader at a young age, then he was a leader in the National Hockey League, and finally he was a great leader as a coach in the National Hockey League.

“He’s humble and he’s always striving to be better and to help others get better," Dotson said. “He tries to stay positive, he’s always worried about others and he’s selfless.”
...it better myself. The obstacles placed before him did not intimidate him; instead, those barriers gave him more desire to accomplish great things. The class and dignity that Ashe exemplified was virtually nonexistent at that time! In the heat of competition, he was always calm and collected; he never lost his temper, despite the situation. During his daily life, he was a very respectful man who never had anything bad to say about anyone. He exercised the golden rule in everything he did: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Arthur Ashe would make the perfect role model for anyone trying to make a name for himself or herself. The word "legend" is the only word that can describe Ashe and all the things he did for the game of tennis!
When I was first elected as section leader in the TWCP Marching Band my junior year, I had a copious amount of hope in the people around me. Even though we did not share the same beliefs and interests, I felt that with my leadership position, I can still help those newer members thrive in band and make their time worthwhile. I was the first chair bassoonist in the top band and had placed well in multiple prestigious competitions, so I was confident in my abilities. This task was a relatively simple one for me. Always understanding of the younger students’ interests, I knew exactly how it felt to be in their position. Band was enjoyable for me, I lived for the competition

Being a member of the marching band gave me a new perspective of myself. My sophomore year I became the clarinet section leader. I was nervous at first because I had never been a leader of anything. But, as the marching season progressed I started growing leadership qualities. Throughout the season, I helped
I never thought I would enjoy marching band before high school, but once I joined, it changed my outlook on life. I have had leadership roles in my school's marching band since my sophomore year, acting as a librarian for two years and a section leader for one. This has allowed me not only to become more comfortable with my abilities as a leader, but has made me more confident overall. Before my senior year, I could not envision myself interviewing to become a section leader because I did not feel comfortable with my abilities in the band, or speaking in front of people. However, after three years in the marching band, I not only became part of a family I never envisioned myself joining, but I grew into my own skin. I became self-assured and

To be an effective leader someone has to be really devoted and have to make an effort to set a charge in his or her organization. Effective leader always have a passion inside of them and someone has to devote his time and money to achieve the desired goals.
Famous for creating Fielders Contingency Model in 1965 which shows a leaders effectiveness based on the situation
In the world of sport, there occasionally comes a being of superlative skill, whose exploits in the game define him or her as even greater than the great players. Michael Jordan in basketball and boxer Muhammad Ali were two of the mould, breaking through the supposed boundaries of their sport. In the world of cricket, Sir Donald Bradman was such a man. The most prolific (Highly productive) run-maker ever and, in terms of statistics, the greatest batsman ever. At the end of the twentieth century, just over a year before the great man's death, nobody playing the game had got within spitting distance of his unparallel batting record. He averaged 99.94 in all test matches- the five-day form of the game that is regarded as the most demanding. Compare his average to the best that hover around the 50-60 mark. There can be little doubt that these others were, and according to those still playing, are, truly great players. Realizing that Bradman's test average is nearly twice their averages, it gives you an idea of how great he was.
