Re: How should leaders be selected?

Having a written application for a team also has a very beneficial side effect: It helps students prepare for writing university applications, and other such applications in the future.

Answering questions such as "Why do you want this position?" or "How do you see yourself as a leader?" on something such as a robotics team application does wonders to help students write their personal statements on university applications. The types of questions that could be asked on a FRC team leadership application are analogous to many of the questions asked on a typical Engineering school application. I found my experiences writing team applications gave me a lot of practice, and my university personal statements were less of a challenge for me.
