I've been on my high school all 4 years and it's been a huge part of my life throughout it. It's my senior year and I'm the captain and tomorrow night is the team banquet. I want to write a little goodbye speech as the captain and say something. Nothing too long, just like a 2min speech. However, I'm not sure what to write or exactly how to start, writing has always been my worst subject. I'd love some suggestions on writing a short speech for this occasion like what to say and how to open up the speech and not be a bore. This team has been a major part of my life as well as the coach and I really want say something sincere.
I'm not all that great with speeches but I might start out saying "my dear teammates (I'm not sure if they're your team mates or...?), it's been an honor to have met you all and coached you all during my high school years. This team has been a major part of my life and I'm very glad to have to opportunity to spend my time with everyone." then add in some unforgettable memories maybe? You could also include how they've impacted your life or how they have improved your experience at school for those 4 years? Good luck :)
Start by writing how thankful you are to be on the team, let alone be the captain of a team. Then, go on about how much you have always admired others around you and how much of a family bond you all have with each other. Then, you can just thank them for the memories and for everything they have done for you. Finish by saying how much you love them and you will always remember them!
