Gabby Vasquez '24 Recruiting Profile

"Great moments are born from great opportunity" - Herb Brooks. This is a quote from the movie Miracle that I put to use often. This has taught me that your team is what helps you make those opportunities into great moments; not one individual person. 

I decided to play lacrosse in 5th grade instead of waterskiing.  I fell in love with the game of lacrosse the minute my father put a stick in my hand.  I learned very quickly which allowed me to play travel with athletes much older than myself.  I was determined to become the best I could be for myself, my team, my school and my coaches.  Fast forward to now as a Junior and you would see a well-equipped athlete who has played Varsity lacrosse since my Freshman year.  I spend countless hours both on and off the field training.  I not only work daily on my game, but also on my body and mind to be a well-rounded athlete.

My dream is to go to college and pursue the game of lacrosse. I have a very high lacrosse IQ : good decision making, see the field well, good team communication, and strong leader ship skills.  I am a motivator and want to make those around me better.  I am self-driven and thrive on constructive feedback from my coaches to continually improve my skills to new levels.  I have been recognized as the one who gives 200% in all aspects of my life: school, sports, work and extracurricular.  My positive attitude, competitive spirit and passion for lacrosse help to keep fueling my fire and love for the sport.

I am a multi-sport athlete playing varsity lacrosse and golf along with basketball. I am on the presidential honor roll and a member of the National Honors Society with a 3.99 GPA.  I am a member of the SALT team (Spring Lake Athletics Leadership) as well as participated in the OK Conference Leadership Summit.  I would like to study Sports Management or be an Athletic Director.  In my free time, I would like to become a lacrosse coach.  Some of my hobbies are snowboarding, hanging out with friends, shopping, and baking.  

I am looking for the best "fit" for college.  I want to challenge myself both athletically and academically.  I am open to the option that allows me to play the highest level possible for my abilities.  I am determined to work as hard as it takes to better myself every day and not quit there.  Overall, I strive to be the best human being: daughter, sibling, friend, classmate, teammate, leader.  I want to make those around me proud.
