Riley Walsh '20 Recruiting Profile

2018 FestivalPersonal Statement
During my college experience, I would love to study biology and become something in the field of sports and medicine. I want to do this because I love helping people, and I want to make sure they are the best they can be. I hope to play field hockey at the collegiate level because I love the feeling of being on a team.
What makes me different from other athletes my age is that I moved to Charlotte in the middle of my eighth grade year, and I was faced with many new challenges, such as adjusting to my new club team, making new friends, and keeping my academics in line. I have been told by various coaches of mine that I am a team player, and I always bring an energetic spirit to the game. I always give field hockey my all, and I hope to grow the game throughout my life.
