Personal Statement
I am Michael Polston, a 2023 graduate goaltender currently at University School of Milwaukee. I am a competitive player who is a leader on the ice and is willing to work hard in the classroom. I continue to push myself to the next level to achieve success by taking criticism well. My goal is to play college hockey and one day reach my dream of being an NHL goaltender. I strive to be a good teammate. Someone who is willing to help on and off the ice. Discipline and accountability are important to me as a player and as a student. This year I learned many lessons on handling adversity and using it as motivation to push forward. Currently, I maintain a GPA of over 3.6. I work to give my best effort in everything. The hardest part of goaltending is the mental grind, knowing you were the person who let in the goal. The best part is owning it and using it to win. My favorite part is all of it.
