Winning effort off the field

Field hockey tryouts were really tough, but when I checked the list, I had made Junior Varsity! My coach made my first season in an Upper School sport the best it could be. I improved as a player, as a student and as a person. I learned field smarts that help me in lacrosse as well, and I learned perseverance, determination, and will power. Now I always put in the "extra step" in my school work, too.

A season of improvement

I played lacrosse in eighth grade. In ninth grade, I was asked to play goalie for the JV team, which seemed extremely scary. The first game, we lost. I felt responsible, but my coach sent me an e-mail saying not to be too hard on myself. We went on to win or tie every other game, and I won the "Most Improved" award for the season.
