2018 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I am gearing up for a strong 2020 high school season playing Varsity Midfield as a Senior. I had a great summer playing with BattleLax and the summer before playing with the 2019 Middlesex Bears Elite Lacrosse club (MXB - Boston, MA area) . With MXB, it is a six week long "away" camp where I focused primarily on lacrosse, strength training, cardiovascular training, and about the college admissions process. I improved my defensive tenacity and performance, my field IQ, and my shooting - pressing the shot when an assist was not a good option.
I am a good candidate for your team and different from other recruits because I am a very energetic happy person who likes to work hard at what I commit to doing. Regarding my size, I have the advantage to shut down bigger kids consistently as presented in my film highlights. I am able to do this because I am quick, tenacious, and getting stronger week after week from training in the weight room. Bottom line - I have a huge heart and I use my size to my advantage over and over again.
Outside of Lacrosse and Basketball I am involved (and have been since 2006) in Martial Arts and Flag Football. I am also a Boy Scout Eagle Scout. I have close to 180 hours of community service through my high school's Navy JROTC program, where I have also held several different leadership positions. I attend church and have volunteered there as well. For leisure I enjoy playing video games and hanging out with friends.
