Heidi Guertler '26 Recruiting Profile

Field hockey has been more than just a sport to me its been a passion that has shaped who I am as an athlete, student, and teammate. From the moment I picked up a stick, I fell in love with the fast pace, the strategy, and the camaraderie that comes with being part of a dedicated team. I thrive on competition and constantly push myself to improve, whether its refining my skills on the field, increasing my endurance in the gym, or analyzing plays to gain a deeper understanding of the game.

As a student-athlete, I take pride in excelling both academically and athletically. I approach my studies with the same discipline and determination that I bring to the field, maintaining strong grades while balancing rigorous training and competition schedules. Time management, resilience, and a strong work ethic have been key to my success in both areas, and I know these qualities will help me contribute to a college program at the highest level.

One of the things I value most about field hockey is the sense of unity within a team. I love being surrounded by like-minded athletes who share the same drive and commitment. I take my role as a teammate seriously whether that means leading by example, communicating on the field, or lifting up those around me. I thrive in an environment where hard work, dedication, and passion are the foundation of success, and I am eager to bring that mindset to the next level.

I am excited about the opportunity to continue my field hockey journey in college and to be part of a program that challenges me to grow both as an athlete and a person. I look forward to contributing my skills, leadership, and determination to a team that shares my love for the game.
