Alexandra is a well- rounded individual whose vitality, focus and commitment to excellence is apparent in everything she does. She embodies Garden City Athletic’s core values and exhibits all of the dispositions which are obvious in her every endeavor and which will serve her throughout her collegiate career. It is evident that Alexandra cares deeply about her peers and encourages a daily growth mindset on and off the field. She also inspired her teammates and coaches when she became a starter for the 2021 Fall Field Hockey season. This leadership role Alexandra earned displayed her confidence, positivity, composure and great game sense. In order to earn this title, Alexandra began her time on the field eager to take on responsibility, integrate into drills as an active participant, and build a rapport with peers. Throughout her field hockey experience, she paid careful attention to designing team building activities and beneficial drills to improve the team’s communication and Forward/ Midfield skills. Alexandra inspired her teammates to use accountable discussion skills to learn from one another in a highly cognitively engaged and collaborative environment. She communicated important daily reminders between the coach and players.

Alex brings a high level of intensity to the field at all times. She is very coachable and actively strives to make herself a better athlete and lacrosse player. We asked her to move from attack to defense, and she worked tirelessly to be the best defender possible. Alex is a physical, aggressive player with a nose for finding the ball. In a 1v1 GB, Alex will come out on top. She tracks the ball very well and finds open girls consistently. Alex can lock off a girl very well, but what has impressed me is her ability to slide to unmarked girls when she needs to. She communicates well on the defense to help others know where and when they should be sliding as well.
