Maisie Smith '23 Recruiting Profile

College is something that I take super seriously in my life along with my beloved sport of lacrosse. Finding the right college and being able to play lacrosse there would be a dream come true. Even if that is not possible I would still love to play club lacrosse. I like to be social with my tema and have them as an important part of my life, I like to be there for people and help them and even ask for help from them. The team is a huge aspect of the sport for me because those are people you will spend most of your time with, training and learning together. Academics always come first is what I have always been told, personally, I like to think that I prioritize my academic ability first but in reality, I think I perform better both academically and athletically when I am submerged in school, activities, and the team all of the time. I don't like to back down from problems and I do everything I can to learn from my skates and try even harder next time. I actually surprisingly love feedback, whether it's from teachers, friends, family, coaches, or employers. I can better myself to help those around me and my own ability and knowledge, everyone has room to grow. Practice makes better, not perfect. I think that learning is super important and I appreciate it when I am given tips and critiques and new ideas to try out. I hope someday I can maybe get critiques and tips from my future college's lacrosse coach and my team, which will hopefully become family.
