Personal Statement
Lacrosse came to me later in my athletic career. I was recruited by my high school coach sophomore year and started for the whole season on the varsity team. I was selected Defensive MVP first year and I am captain this year and again my teams best defender. I was selected First Team All League as a junior. I play smart, positional defense and love the opportunity to play the other team’s best player. I am incredibly focused on the game and committed to playing at the next level. My coaches say I am very coachable,easy to work with and am a strong leader for my teammates.
I speak three languages and was raised in the Basque Country, Spain, where I spend my summers and winter breaks. Family is incredibly important to me and I value the time I spend both in California with my mom and step dad and also in Basque Country with my dad and siblings. I have coached kids who come from backgrounds with little exposure to sports in soccer, basketball, football and lacrosse. Working with these teams has been incredibly satisfying.
