Personal Statement
Hello, I am Alyssa Shorts. I am 16 years old and live in
Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. I am 5’7” and 145 pounds of muscle. My greatest physical
attribute in hockey is my speed, aggressiveness and shot strength. On the bench, I am very good
at listening and absorbing the coach’s lessons. I am very coachable. I do anything
and everything the coach tells me to do, and I add my own touch to the play to
make it creative and flowing. I am very big on team play. I am very optimistic
and positively view life situations. Since I was 9 years old I have been an
assistant captain or captain. I always give 200% no matter practice or game
because I believe that you get what you give. If I give 200% in practice it
will show in my games. I am 100%
dedicated to whatever I do, whether school or sports. I go the rink as early as
possible and stay as late as I can to practice. At home I am always trying to
get better by training and drawing out plays. I believe there is always room
for improvement. I would like to play as high a level as realistically possible
whether that’s club or D1 scholarship, as long as I get to play something. I love
science and sociology and do very well in those subjects. I would like to pursue a career in psychology. I am very open to any kind of school. I like trying new things
and anything would be a great experience. Thank you for your time.
