I always excelled in sports and I have always seemed to learn new things quite fast. Lacrosse was different. The day my friend Riley Carr had came down to my house and asked if I wanted to join the Canton Lacrosse Michigan youth team was life changing. I agreed to play but only because it was both of our first times playing and I didn’t want to be embarrassed alone. As you can probably guess, My first few years playing were not very good and I was still unskilled in the game. As soon as 7th grade came around, My Canton team was unstoppable! We were beating the top 10 teams in the state by HUGE numbers! It wasn’t even fair for the other teams. We were winning every tournament and championship we attended, and I was having my breakout season. This journey lasted all the was through middle school and to the day our middle school careers were over, and we were separated to different schools. It was a sad day knowing I would never get to play with these kids again who over the years, I had made very strong bonds with. I would not change a thing about my decision to play lacrosse. Something I have learned from this crazy journey is to always believe in yourself, and to always put in the work you know you can do. I had done just that, and now I am the leading scorer and passer on my team. Things can really go a long way if you have the right mind-set and work ethic,
