Personal Statement
After my first year in a start-up lacrosse program, I pursued to play with a reputable lacrosse program located 1 1/2 hours from my home. That decision to play with the Monsters Lacrosse Academy in Sarasota, FL proved to be the turning point in my lacrosse career. This is where I defined my skills and leadership abilities, as I was exposed to fantastic coaches, great players, and more importantly, phenomenal competition. After playing spring lacrosse with the Monsters, I was asked to play with their summer travel team where I was starting attack.
As a freshman at JW Mitchell High School, I was second in goal scoring and number one in total points, and the only freshman to start and play for the team. I helped my high school team double their wins from the previous year, and was selected as the only freshman to play for the all-star team. Most recently, I played starting attack for a Tampa, FL summer travel team and was chosen Captain after the second practice.
I am looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically as well as academically. I value the education aspect of the student-athlete experience as much as the great athletic experiences I hope to be part of. I would like to pursue a college or university with an outstanding academic reputation where I could make an immediate impact on the team.
