Hi! My name is Alaia Jeannin. I play attack for Lax Maniax and Bolles HS. I am in 10th grade, half-French, half-American and live in Jacksonville, Florida. For me, lacrosse is more than just a sport. Lacrosse is a way of life and it saved me from a debilitating future. Diagnosed at 12 with a rare form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), doctors discouraged me from sports and told me I would never be able to play. Not easily dissuaded, I persevered (with lots of help from Physical Therapists and some great coaches) and now play Lacrosse competitively. I seize every opportunity to play, learn and improve. My goal is to play attack for a D1 or D3 college. I have a high game-IQ and take pride in doing lots of assists. I am great at throwing fakes and drawing in defense to help my teammates go to goal. I value being in a team and work hard to stay in peak fitness. I was a starter in my HS team last season and was awarded “Most Dedicated”.
