Personal Statement
Hello Coach,
I am a junior who loves the game of lacrosse. I have played both sides of the ball but defense is my passion. I love breaking down film and discussing schemes. I have played O-Line/TE so I'm critical about footwork, positioning, stick skills, and I take pride in being a d-pole with a solid left. I aspire to get my degree in sports medicine, physical therapy, or sports management so when I am done playing I can continue to be part of the development of other young athletes. I'm also looking at an education path that could help me become a federal officer like a special agent.
During travel I have played up in age divisions. I have played for True Mountain West a regional All-star team and True National (Black). Even though I am from Idaho by the time I become a player for you I will have played from California to Long Island many times. As a teammate I make sure to help the JV guys when I can, set-up/tear down for practice and be positive. I go hard on my teammates during drills and I expect them to do the same to me.
One thing that makes me different from other players my age and even many players older than me is my coach-ability. I won't back talk or try to justify what I did. I welcome criticism and I am immediately able to make adjustments on the field. I want to continue to grow as a player, I'm not afraid to discuss my mistakes and learn from them.
I am looking for a college lacrosse team that wants to compete for championships, play against the best competition in the US and build lasting relationships. To me playing in college is an opportunity to see different parts of our country meet new people, cultures, I would not have otherwise.
