Julia Sugden '24 Recruiting Profile

I’m currently a  Sophomore at First Colonial High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia in the Legal Studies Program.  I am hoping to play Division 1 college field hockey and pursue a career in either law or psychology.  I’ve been passionate about field hockey since the age of 7 when I first picked up a hockey stick.  I believe I have the work ethic, leadership qualities, and the diverse skills to compete at the college level. My coaches believe I am a strong leader who welcomes the newer and younger players and helps build team unity and communication. Although I have played all positions I feel like I do best in defense or in the left mid position.  coaches love to tell me I'm a diverse player and they put me where ever I am needed.  This has ultimately made me a well rounded player who understands the entire hockey field.  This school season on the First Colonial High School  Varsity Team I started as  a right back Defender.   Overall, I’ve been lucky to be trained by many college level field hockey coaches that inspire me to continue my hockey dreams and high academic pursuits.  I plan to continue to train at advanced level to reach my goals.
