- Riptide Oceanside 2017
Personal Statement
My name is Jacob Pestana and I'm class of 2018 at Justin Siena in Napa California.
My lacrosse career began when I was eight and it grew like wildfire from there. I played club lacrosse on Napa Force and once I reached my freshman year of high school I joined the Justin Siena varsity lacrosse team. My skills have also improved as a player for travel teams, most recently as attack for the elite 101 Lacrosse team. I am drawn to lacrosse for many different reasons. Lacrosse requires a combination of strength, speed, agility and finesse. It's also a game that requires a great deal of thought. I have been a starter for every team. My lacrosse IQ has grown tremendously and my coach along with my film proves that.
My stern upbringing has helped me keep a consistent work ethic and has helped motivate me to be a successful man. I am hoping to pursue a degree in business and eventually go into money management.
My immediate goals are to work hard in the weight room, to develop my off hand and to improve my game at both ends of the field. I'd like to get better with every game, every practice, every play and one day I hope to earn the privilege of playing college lacrosse.
thank you for your consideration,
Jacob Andrews-Pestana
