Personal Statement

There is nothing better than being carried off the field after scoring the game winning goal, touchdown or making a game saving defensive stop.  The highlight play is what the fans remember.  Those moments are not what I remember about the teams which I have been a part of.  I remember overcoming all of the challenges with my teammates and the coaches who made us believe that we could succeed if we put the work in.  Those bonds are why I love the game and want to keep playing.

I take pride in the effort that I put in on the field and in the classroom.  I try to set an example by maintaining a high GPA, volunteering in the community and by being the hardest worker on the  field.  I am not an outspoken face of the program but I thrive as a tone setter and am the backbone of my team.  I would describe my game as relentless.

I plan to continue playing lacrosse in college so that I can continue building my work ethic while creating lasting friendships and memories with my teammates.  My academic and athletic ability has provided me an opportunity, I plan to make the most of it.
