Noah Harrell '25 Recruiting Profile

My name is Noah Harrell. I started out playing hockey when I was 6 years old. I found lacrosse at 11 and switched to lacrosse exclusively during the pandemic. I am also high functioning autistic which gives me a big edge in focus and eye hand coordination which helps my goalie skills immensely. I am not easily distracted during a game and can compartmentalize any mistakes I may make and move forward without looking back. I also think I am a very good leader and try very hard to pump up the team even if I am not in the net. I have been playing club with Mad Dog LA for 5 years and think it has helped me really grow as a player. I also am an active volunteer with my local Jewish community and have been making and serving food to the local homeless shelter and also spend part of my summers rebuilding the local camps that were destroyed by fires in 2018. 

I want to focus on sports psychology/sports sciences in college so I can be not only knowledgeable about lacrosse and other sports, but also how to lead. I want study psychology because I will be joining the military after college and my plan is to become a Navy SEAL. I feel that I was put on this planet to help people and leave it safer than how it was presented to me. I think the way I will fulfill this to my best ability is through the military. My plan is to coach lacrosse after the military because I know lacrosse will always be a part of who I am and I would find it selfish to not share the knowledge I have gained from this sport. I am working hard at keeping my grades high and looking forward to finding the right fit for college in the next couple of years.
