Paul Glenn '19 Recruiting Profile

As someone who started particularly late to athletics in general, I personally think that the grit, the passion, and the hunger I have rivals most other players. I am very humble because I am very aware of what it's like to lack talent, and that is what pushes me so hard to become better. I started out as an Attackman on junior varsity in the 10th grade; due to lack of players, and my size, I was often a starter. Being a starter for my first time playing a sport gave me the misconception that I was something of a natural, and into 11th grade once I played at the Varsity level, I realized I was wrong. I played in the 11th grade fighting to get my minutes, working before and after practice, no matter how early or how late. About 2 weeks into my junior season, I was very much humbled and realized that, yes, I do want to pursue this and I want to become an asset to my team rather than a third string practice doll. I did and continue to work vigorously to fulfill my aspirations of playing collegiate Lacrosse. I have been working with a private coach since the end of my 10th grade season, and he has acknowledged my improvement as well. I am happy to say that as a result of my efforts, I have grown as a player and as a teammate; I am excited to play this upcoming season and haven't stopped practicing since last season. I take the most pride in how hard I work, and strive to be the hardest working kid on the team year round. All in all, I feel that my ability to take criticism, and to perfect my weaknesses will shine once I am given the opportunity to play at the collegiate level. I will take any opportunity that works for me to be able to pursue my Lacrosse career.
