My lacrosse journey has been extremely difficult. It began in 8th grade where I wanted to try out the sport and decided to try out for the team. Ended Des up getting cut from the team and continued to play soccer. One of my friends recommended to me to try out again during my freshman year. I was planning hon trying out and was extremely excited to play then one afternoon after wrestling practice we were rolling up the mats then a kid came up to me tackling me causing me to have two fractures in my ankle and caused me to get surgery. Because of this I wasnt able to participate in physical activities for 5 months. This was extremely upsetting and challenging as when I returned to sports I was very out of shape and not as good at soccer. Throughout summer I only played soccer and was definetly going to go for the lacrosse team again so when the school year began my we had workouts where we would get together and practice. I slowly got the hang of the sport around spring after practicing throughout all of the school year to play. I made the team and was excited to finally be able to play lacrosse then I received an email from my coach saying the season would be pushed back then eventually an email saying that our season was cancelled. I was devistated and upset since I had worked all year to play then have my season be taken away. I was fortunate enough that my highschool coaxh had seen some potential in me so that I was able to play during the summer. I practiced all throughout the summer and played in two tournaments not knowing exactly how to play but I gained more and more IQ as time progressed to the point where I had hopes of playing college lacrosse and knew that if I worked hard enough in the classroom and on the feild that my goal would become possible. I began practicing everyday in my backyard and I got better and better until I became one of the best on my grade. Unfortunately I didnt play that much during my junior year but I will continue to work hard and keep the same determination that I had to be the best lacrosse player that I can possibly be.
