Annie Dettlinger '26 Recruiting Profile

I have been playing field hockey since I was introduced to it in 5th grade. Since then it has consumed most of my time and it has become something I can not live without. I always try my hardest while playing whether it is a scrimmage at practice or the championship game. I consider myself to be a huge team player, I am always looking out for my teammates and helping them become greater, because I succeed if my team succeeds. 

I play defense and that means that I am not always recognized for my playing since I do not have a crazy amount of stats like some forwards and mids, but what I have learned playing defense is that even though I am not always the one putting the ball into the goal, its the strength of the team as a whole that lets the ball hit the back of the cage. 

Another trait about me is that I am an extremely hard worker, I am always trying to improve and play to the best of my abilities. I am consistently the first one at practice and always the last to leave. Not only am I a hard worker when it comes to field hockey, but I also work very hard for my academics. I am a very good student and I have very good time management because I understand that academics comes first. All in all, I hope that I can continue my academic and athletic career playing the sport I love at a school I love.
