Alexander Berardis '21 Recruiting Profile

Hello,

I am  anticipating furthering my Lacrosse experience at the college level.  

My parents encouraged me to play all types of sports. I was fortunate that was able to excel in all of my childhood sports. The only problem was I never put anything extra into any of those sports I played. 

My 6th teacher who coached Lacrosse said that I should try Lacrosse.  I went out for it and I loved it!  The head coach told me he liked my aggressive nature and started me on defense. I moved to LSM as a freshman but though I played “Pole”,  my passion was for Attack.  I spoke to my coach and told him I wanted to switch to Attack.  He told me "I would have to start from the bottom".  I took the challenge and I am happy I did.  I am now an offensive player with a defensive background.  I still take great pride to “beat them on the ride”. 

 I look forward to my Senior seasons at OCHS.  Very proud to say we are CAL Champs 2019.  Coach Latorre also won his 100^th game @ OCHS.!

This brings me to the next chapter.  I see my college years to be a personal growth period.  My goal is to explore a Sports Marketing/Media major that will position me well for a career in Sports Broadcasting.  On the field, I plan to be a dynamic player and positive influence on the team.  As I grow both physically and mentally throughout my college lacrosse career, I will strive to be an asset to the squad.  I am slightly younger than some other players are in my class and so as I mature, I anticipate just getting bigger, stronger and better.

Most importantly, I will conduct myself with honor and respect on and off the field, knowing that the way I carry myself reflects my team, my coaches and the school I attend.

I hope that you will see the respect that I show for the game of Lacrosse, and allow me to tell you a little more about myself.

Thank you for your time invested in me already.

Respectfully,

Alex
