Places that molded me

Scenic Sammamish, Washington: Hard work not only on the field, but off the field too. Studying for school, developing work ethic, gaining leadership skills; I learned everything I needed to know growing up right here.

Skyline High School Stadium: This is where I honed my skills all throughout high school, and played in games under the bright lights. I got my first real taste of what playing lacrosse was through these experiences at Spartan Stadium.

The good ol' backyard: My parents have since sold them as I have gone off to college, but we had a lax wall (a portable wall you could throw against and it would feed the ball right back) and a goal. The amount of time I spent, rain or shine, practicing just throwing against the wall and shooting was insane. I also wonder how many lost balls are lying around the bushes back there.

Post Center gym: I have spent so much time at the school gym. From living in Beverly this past summer and coming every morning, to 2-a-days each and every winter - I'm no stranger to the fitness center here.

The Nest: The Endicott field speaks for itself. As a freshman I've snow shoveled it, I've bled, sweated, thrown up and cried on it, I've broken bones on it, and created life long bonds on it. Endicott Stadium has embodied the life of me as an athlete the past three years.
