Recruit Profile
I am a multi-sport athlete who is hardworking and enjoys every minute that I get to spend on the field. I am very dedicated to my team and the sport.

I started playing lacrosse when I was 9 years old, and began to play club lacrosse at age 13. I was pulled up for varsity as a freshman and enjoyed the challenge. I am right-handed but I am also very comfortable playing with either hand. I take pride in creating new stick tricks, working on dodging, footwork, shooting, and defense daily. I consider myself a team player, while encouraging my teammates constantly. I am very great at cutting at the right time and being in the right place, showing my high lacrosse IQ. I am without a doubt in love with the sport and hope to continue at the highest level possible. In addition, I will work my absolute hardest to make that happen. I live for every moment that I get to spend on the field, getting better and having fun. Lacrosse is a HUGE passion of mine and I would love to go as far as I can with it! I lift three times a week in order to preform the best I can on the field. I also play field hockey, another sport that I thoroughly enjoy. I've only been playing for three years but sophomore year I was awarded team captain and MVP. Each sport helps me advance as a player and as a teammate. My driven attitude helps me succeed on the field and in the classroom. I have a 98 GPA, and took AP Chemistry last year. I am currently taking AP Language, AP Psychology and SUPA Sports Management as well as other advanced classes. I enjoy being involved in Math League, Chemistry Club, Ceramics Club, Penfield High School Ambassadors, and volunteering at the Penfield Food Shelf.

It is my great pleasure to give a recommendation for Sydney. I have been her Club Coach since the fall of 2020. In my short time Coaching her, I have never encountered such diligence and dedication of spirit as with Sydney. She came to our program with a ton of talent, heart and eagerness to grow. There is never a time where Sydney is not ready to go. She gives 100%, 100% of the time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sydney for any position. She will be an asset to any program.

I have been fortunate to coach Sydney at Penfield. In all of my dealings with Sydney she has shown to be an athlete of character, intelligence, and talent. She is now a junior at Penfield and is displaying the leadership and work ethic that every coach hopes for.
