Profile
Extremely High Lacrosse IQ and Leadership skills- Last Year served as a Player/Coach for the JV team as both Team Captain and Defensive Coordinator. 3 sport athlete - A lettered wrestler with good burst and aggressiveness and cross country runner with high level endurance and speed.

I started playing lacrosse when I was in the first grade and loved it immediately. I played middie and took face-offs for my local rec team until I started playing club lacrosse in the fifth grade and switched to close defense. I am now a starting defenseman on my club team, PLC, that went 17-5 in tournament play this summer, winning two tournaments, and leading three out of four tournaments in goals against per game. I pride myself in, being coachable, leadership on and off the field, in being able to communicate slide packages and assignments with other defensemen and middies, and in my ability to use fundamentals in order to never get beat one on one. In my high school career, I have been captan of JV wrestling, JV cross country, and JV lacrosse, I have also wrestled on the varsity level, and played varsity lacrosse during the end of my sophomore season. I have taken 3 AP courses and passed all of my AP tests with scores of four or higher, receiving a score of five on my AP psychology test. I am in the IB program at my high school and plan on graduating high school with upwards of ten college credits to my name. I also have a high school GPA of about 4.15 that I feel I can improve upon in the coming school year. I am involved in multiple community service clubs at my school such as the Key club and the National Honors Society. My goal in lacrosse is to be the best player that I can be, and help make my team better in any role I am given, and I will work myself to death to do so.
