Personal Statement

I am a documented gifted student in Colorado and Georgia who loves lacrosse, a sport that has taught me to balance education, dedication and perseverance. My coaches have praised me for being a team-first player, coachable and for my constant pursuit to improve my lax IQ. On the field I make critical decisions to help ensure that the defense works as a unit by directing those around me in conjunction with the goalie. I am able to guard against swift, large, and older competitors because of my extra conditioning, speed and agility, and weight lifting workouts. I am looking for a college with strong departments in mathematics, engineering and computer science that will challenge me off the field—and a brotherhood on the field.


I’ve been playing lacrosse for four years; fall of eighth grade- 2015 and I wish I had known about it sooner. I attend as many camps and training opportunities as time and finances allow. As a freshman, I was a starting defender on the JV team and was asked to play on Varsity. Based on my performance and contributions to our winning season, I earned a Varsity letter. My Sophomore year I earned the Overall MVP for JV and played not only Defense but also some time at Attack and earned another Varsity Letter. My Junior year I played exclusively on Varsity and I recorded 18 ground balls and 13 forced turnovers earning another Varsity letter. I am looking forward to my Senior season and captaining the defense and helping my team increase our win/loss record from last year!


Even though my dad had to drag me to my first clinic, the moment I was introduced to defense, I knew this was my sport. I enjoyed baseball, but lacrosse gives me the intensity I like. It challenges me physically and mentally by forcing me to learn and perform new moves and tactics in order to read my opponents and gain the upper hand. I’ve also learned how to fit in with players who have different mindsets than my own. It also taught me that things might not always come as easy as they have for me in the past. I chose to “get up, dust off and move forward,” learning from my mistakes rather than quitting the sport I love.
