I started playing lacrosse when I was in 3rd grade and fell in love with the sport. Although I do not play for my high school team since I compete for the track team, the stick is never out of my hands and I continue to play year-round with Headstrong. I love how my high school sports allow me to compete and keep me fit so I can run down my opponents on the lacrosse field. There is no greater feeling than running a ball carrier down and causing a change of possession or getting that thrilling back check! Playing for Headstrong allows me to play the game I love with girls who I grew up playing multiple sports with and all for a greater cause, Cancer. I love that our lacrosse teams not only play together on the field but get to help the Headstrong Foundation through our game off the field. The community service aspect of Headstrong Lacrosse helps us understand the importance of team, how to bring the best out in each other, but more importantly how to treat each other since you never know what someone is going through.
