Studies have shown that students who are members of athletic teams benefit academically, socially and emotionally from the experience. While I can’t speak for other student athletes, I can certainly attest to the positive effect field hockey has had on me. I’ve been playing since 6th grade, and the impact my teams have had on me are almost immeasurable. Being a part of the OBHS Field Hockey program has made me a better student and a better person. As a team, we support each other on and off the field – we are training partners and study partners, we are friends and family, we’ve laughed together and cried together. I was welcomed in when I joined the team, and by my second year, I was doing the same for new teammates, becoming a mentor to our younger goalkeepers and other new players.
All these things, along with my love of the game and my competitiveness, have led me to where I am now: seeking a new team, a new family, as I prepare to head off to college. My goal is to land in a school and on a team where I can continue to excel academically and athletically while becoming part of a new family.
