- 2016 Highlights
Personal Statement
Field hockey is one of the many sports I have played from the young age of 6. Over the past few years it has become a significant part of my life and something I always endeavour to achieve very highly in. After been selected for an Under 13 regional representative team at the age of 9, I began to dream of playing hockey for New Zealand.
Have the opportunity to be a student athlete at a college level is something that would set me up for the goals I am yet to achieve.
After developing an understanding for the majority of all the positions in the game of the last 5 -8 years, I have settled in the front line as a striker as speed is a strength of mine. Through all experience I have gain a wealth of understand of the game. My leadership has progress also to be able to lead 8 hockey teams as either captain or vice. I believe I am a coachable athlete who is always open to constructive criticism and is willing to work hard with a positive attitude.
Off the sporting fields I am a industrial, well balanced student. I maintain high grades of excellence in my academic studies. Outside off school I am apart of the local surf lifesaving club, not only is it my summer sport were I compete to a national level, it is a chance to give back to the community. I am always continuing to challenge myself and therefore I have recently begun Duke of Edinburgh Gold. I am Prefect at my secondary school as Head of Sport.
It is a goal and a dream of mine to attend an American University and play hockey to the highest level possible.
