Maria Baistrocchi Laino '21 Recruiting Profile

My major goal in college is to be able to extend my field hockey skill sets, show my love for the sport, and expand my education by perusing my love for medical studies. What sets me apart from other candidates is the fact that I have managed to balanced out my academic life and my hockey life, I part my time between pre-AP and all honors courses, maintaining a high GPA, and I set apart time that is completely dedicated to field hockey. Character wise, I believe that I am a good hearted person, I care for others, and I tend to form a special bond with my teammates and the coaches. I give out a positive perspective to life and I love helping other people with problems either socially or academically, whatever it is I am there for people to count on.  Hockey inspires me, it shows me that there is never only one solution to a problem, I have dedicated so much of my life to hockey, and overall I have improved greatly and it has helped me grow in many different areas as a human being, so continuing it on in college would be a dream of mine.
