Ava has been a 2 year varsity starter for me at Attack, and will be a 3 year starter next year. Ava has both right and left hands, and you can't tell the difference between them. I was able to see Ava grow not only as a player but as a person. Over the last couple of years, Ava has stepped it up to be a leader on the field for her team. Ava always works hard in practice and in games and never takes plays off. She is a very coachable player. Ava is always a "Yes Coach", or "I'll do it better" kind of player. She never wants to let the coaching staff or her teammates down. Ava dedicates her time on watching film against our opponents and our previous games. She always comes to practice with questions on how she could of done better in a previous game or how she thinks the best way to attack a defense will be. Ava dedicates herself in making sure she does all our off season workouts and does the extra training to set an example for her teammates.
