Danielle Cummings '20 Recruiting Profile

One of my goals is to be able to shoot more goals, and figuring out new ways I can do so. Either by myself (one on one with a goalie), or with another teammate, I want to be able to get the ball in that goal. I also want to learn how to play field hockey in all positions. I started as a forward and ended up being a middle player by the end of middle school. Then as a freshman (I'm currently a rising sophomore) I played as the varsity center forward, and I would sometimes go back to the middle. What makes me a good candidate for the team is this: I think that as a forward, you need to analyze the play (knowing where to be if the ball pops out and its just you with the two defenders and a goalie), and you need to be a fast runner. I am both of those things, and I am increasing in these qualities. What makes me different from everyone else is that I don't quit. I never give up on a game because I know it can easily be turned around in seconds. I don't whine about certain drills we may do during practice, because I know it will help me in the end.
