2020 Highlights
Highlights part 1Personal Statement
From the beginning of my lacrosse days, my father always stressed the importance of practicing more with the non-dominant hand than my dominant as this is one strength that will help me excel. I have taken this advice seriously and now have very equal skills with both hands and at times it seems I take more shots with my left than I do with my right. I have the ability to see the whole field and find open teammates as they are making their cuts. I am very unselfish and understand that although I have a good shot, one more pass will lead to a better one. I am looking to play for a coach that can further my skill and utilize a player with my abilities.
