Personal Statement
I am a seventeen year old Goalie & have loved the sport of lacrosse ever since I started to play eight years ago. I play for Building Blocks Lacrosse (BBL) on their "Black" team & I love to play for such an amazing club! Also I am proud of my performance at The Guardian Nationals (the goalie only invitational showcase). Out of all 2017 goalies, I was #1 in saves during "The Maze" which very closely resembles a real game with obstacles in your line of vision. Weekly Goalie training for many years helps me hone my skills further. At the IWLCA Presidents Cup in Orlando this past November I was proud of my 55% save ratio playing against the best teams there (of course I always want to do better!).
I was extremely honored when Inside Lacrosse Magazine wrote that I was a "Player That Impressed" http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/il-mid-atlantic-prospect-day-presented-by-un1tus-photos-standout-players/33160
I am hard working and love to help others whether it is through the church or at school with my peers. I am very interested in science and technology.. I am a volunteer cadet on my local First Aid Squad & I am a NJ state certified EMT. Because I am so busy, I am able to manage my time very well. I very much look forward to playing lacrosse in college! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile!
