Jaden Mehnert '20 Recruiting Profile

     I'm from Lexington, Kentucky, I am 5'10, 140 pounds, and I graduate in the year 2020, I’m a fogo/midfielder. I use to play attack, I switched to fogo/midfield my Sophomore year.  After the 2018 spring season was over was I achieved being ranked 11 out of 36 for face-off in my state, it was my first year facing off.  I have a fast reaction time which gives me an advantage for faceoffs, I'm very shifty and fast, and I can perform well under pressure. I strive to become the best player I can be. I'm almost always the first one to get to the field and the last one to leave. I consistently practice with a purpose, trying to achieve perfection by turning my weaknesses into strengths. Something I strongly believe in is that if you don't work hard, success won't show.  I'm always watching film to help me see what I did wrong or what I could've done better during a game , and I always communicate with my coaches such as, asking questions to help me become a better player.  

    Goals I have before my high school career is over are: win a high school championship, and get recruited to a amazing school. School comes first, then lacrosse. My average GPA totaled from both my semesters is a 3.6 GPA, school is important to me, the same way lacrosse is.  I try as hard in the classroom as I do on the field so I can have a higher chance of being recruited to schools of interest. 

    Lacrosse is a huge passion of mine,  It's been my dream to play lacrosse in college.  Ever since I put a stick in my hand, I fell in love with the game. I would like to go to a school that I can help impact the most, and where my teammates will become my brothers, sharing the same love and passion for the sport of lacrosse, as I do.  I haven't decided what major I would like to do, but I'm interested in business, as well as in technology.  Ideally, I would like to play at the highest level of competition level possible and would make a significant contribution early on in my career as a college athlete, because I'm hardworking and dedicated to school and lacrosse.
