Henry Hashemi '20 Recruiting Profile

My name is Henry Hashemi.  I am currently a high school junior.  I was first introduced to lacrosse by an older boy in my neighborhood.  He showed me some stick handling skills and would throw the ball around with me after school.  I soon became infatuated with the sport.  I was so infatuated that I gave up my number one sport of football in order to play travel lacrosse full time.  I have always been an aggressive athlete no matter what the sport.  Since fourth grade I have poured that energy and hard work into my lacrosse game. 

Through lacrosse I have learned that I am not only very competitive but I am committed to improving my game and working with my teammates to improve the whole team.  I am a hard worker, very focused and I don't give up.  I give 120% during practice and during the game.  Probably the biggest reason I continue to strive to be the best is that as a younger player I was always the smallest kid on the team.  However, my coaches would comment that I did not play small... I played big.  I was never afraid of players bigger than me or teams that were better than mine.  Now that I have grown, I continue to play big, no matter what the competition is like.

My current goal is to play competitive college lacrosse.  I strongly feel that I would be an asset and fully committed to any team. Academically I want to pursue a degree in business.  After college I look forward to continuing my love for lacrosse as a coach for other up and coming players.
