Brayden Monastero '24 Recruiting Profile

My collegiate goals are to be a starting defenseman for a Division 1  university and earn a degree in my chosen field of study.  I am a good candidate because along with loving lacrosse and continuing to get better every year I have also been a top student every year.  My current GPA in a 4.0.  I have maintained this GPA at a very rigorous High School while taking two honors classes in Math and English.  While maintaining a 4.0 GPA I also trained all summer and was one of two Freshman who ran on the  Varsity Cross Country  team at Queensbury High School.   I continued to get better over the season and finished 30th out of 85 students in our conference and 2nd among Freshman.  

When it comes to Lacrosse I started playing when I was 5, and I instantly fell in love.   After the first practice I never questioned or thought about another sport. Through the many years I have played other sports but have never found another sport that I have loved and cherished like lacrosse.   Through my many years playing lacrosse I have learned about the importance of character, work ethic and teamwork.  I have learned that it is OK if you are not to be the best player out there but you better be the one working the hardest.  Living by this standard I have continued to progress over the years and make myself and those around me better. I am ready to put in the work and strive to be apart of a  D1 lacrosse team.
