My name is An Poropat and I have played lacrosse for four, almost five years for the Cy-Fair Iron Maidens club lacrosse team, one year with 3d LC Houston Club Lacrosse, and two years with Grit Houston and most recently with the Italian National Lacrosse Team for both the U19 team and the Senior team. I started playing in 8th Grade as defense and during my freshman year of High School, I moved up to playing midfield and taking the draw, but recently I've realized that my strengths lay in my defense, so I've moved back to playing defense, although I can still take the draw and play any position if needed.
I feel as if I am very coachable, ateam player, and lately I have become an extremely physical and aggressive defender, with some sufficient midfield and attack abilities, such as taking the draw.

As well as playing lacrosse I also run track at Cypress Ranch for their JV team as a 300m Hurdles runner and a discus thrower. In the past, I have also run Cross Country.

Although lacrosse is very important to me, my grades are also one of my top priorities. I work extremely hard in getting straight As in all advanced courses and I hope to continue to do so. I'm extremely determined, ambitious, and I work extremely hard for what I want. I will try to give 110% every day at practice and in school.

In my spare time, I do a lot of reading and have been a volunteer coach for the Langham Creek Boys 6-7th Grade Lacrosse Team for one year and a volunteer coach at Team 91 Texas for their beginner girl's team.

My motto is: "Qui Desiderant Victoria, Bellum Preparat."

Which translates to: "He that desires victory, prepare for war."
