Abby Witmer '17 Recruiting Profile

      My name is Abby Witmer. I am a sophomore at Battlefield High School and play on the varisity women's lacrosse team. I currently start as a defensive midfielder.
      I love the game of lacrosse because it serves as an outlet for me when I just need space or to be with really great teammates. Lacrosse has helped me to learn that there will always be better and worse players than me, but that I still neeed to keep improving. Lacrosse has provided me with a sense of security, because I know all of my teammates have my back and I have theirs. 
      Another thing that is very important to me is having the right coaching staff. I want a coach that is willing to help me improve my skills , but also more importantly, I want my coach thinking about the team as a whole because lacrosse is a team sport. I do not want a coach that only focuses on the best player on the team or even the worst player on the team becuase then it is no longer a team sport. If the coach never focuses on the team as a whole then the team will never grow. Overall, there needs to be a good balance between the individual players and the team to make that team amazing.
      Lastly, I would like to continue to play lacrosse in college becuase it will allow me to meet new people and it will serve as my family. I think family is also really important because everyone in a family must work together to achieve the goal, whether it is the lacrosse championship or just cleaning the house, everyone must work together.
