I started playing Lacrosse when I was in second grade. I continued to play baseball and soccer until I realized playing lacrosse is my true passion. I played for the PYA team for many years. I was fortunate to have amazing coaches to discover my talent as a long pole defenseman and a LSM. When I aged out of PYA one parent saw the need to keep the team together. He developed a club team called Blue Wave, we played in local tournaments and improved our skills. I joined the school teams as soon as they were offered. I was captain of my 7th and 8th grade teams. When I went to High School I had to evaluate my playing situation. There were, at the time, a lot of Seniors who played the same position as I did and that meant less playing time. Therefore, I chose to Play on the JV team as a starter. I was pulled up to play in the playoffs and that led me to a spot on the Varsity team as a Sophomore. During my sophomore year I learned a lot from my teammates as well as a new coach. I learned how to balance being a Varsity team player and improving my grades. I had a rough freshman year academically and knew I had to make some adjustments to improve my grades. Sophomore year I continued Playing Volleyball, Lacrosse and I was determined to improve my grades. I was honored to receive the Volleyball Coaches Award that year as well as the Student Of The Month. I was chosen for this award by my teachers for my dedication to improve my grades. I was recruited to join the LI Outlaws Elite club team. This team is dedicated to players interested in playing lacrosse beyond High School. This team is a great group of players from all over Long Island and I enjoy being a part of this team. My Junior year started off great, the volleyball team had a good season and I was on honor roll! Then Covid hit and everything came to a halt. I continued to run, work out and played a lot of wall-ball. We are now back on the fields and I look forward to see what's next.
