2016 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goal is to play lacrosse at the collegiate level. I have dedicated my work on the field, in the weight room and in the classroom so far to get closer to this goal. I know that education is the number one priority and I think of that first and foremost. I want my level of play and education to match up well to be able to lead me to the best school possible for me to play and compete at, whether that be Division 1, Division 2 or Division 3. I know that to get where I want to go I need to put the work in day in and day out. I know that i need to be a leader on and off the field. Studying hard and getting good grades are a most not only for myself but to also represent myself as a leader to my peers. Working out in the off season and practicing hard to be a leader to my teammates on and off the field. Lastly, I know i need to excel at what I do during each season; be a threat to the other team. As soon as the school season ends i am back in the weight room the day after training for the next season ahead. I am committed to do whatever it takes to be able to achieve my goal and succeed. I know saying it proves nothing. So I will show you.
