Personal Statement
My collegiate aspirations are to play lacrosse for a college with both outstanding academic and lacrosse programs. A college with outstanding academic and lacrosse programs is one that is defined by me as having teachers, coaches, and students/athletes who are hard-working, committed to excellence, and are supportive in helping one another become a true team. I believe I am different than many other recruits, especially for my age, because I have high, but reasonable, expectations for myself as both a student and an athlete. I work extremely hard not only in class and during practices to be the best that I can be, but I work just as hard in my free time studying to keep good grades, and practicing to improve my lacrosse skills. On my own time, I am constantly doing wall ball, shooting, and working out to improve my lacrosse game; I am as confident with my left hand as my right. As a 6'8 sixteen-year-old, I continue to work on various drills to utilize my size and increase my speed. I look forward to playing lacrosse one day at a college with a reputation for having both exceptional academic and lacrosse programs.
