Why do
you play?
I play because I love being part of a team. To come out everyday
and be able to compete against such great athletes and know everyone
is competing for the same goal is great. |
Why are
you a goalie?
Goalie is an extremely challenging position, and I like the responsibility
of trying to stop shots that such talented attackers take on me.
The challenge to keep the ball out of the net is something that
makes you want to work harder. |
How important
is the goalie position?
The Goalie position is important because you can see the whole field.
You get to be the leader in the back and direct traffic. Without
the goalie, the game wouldn't be as exciting because no one would
be defending the goal and goals would come easy. The goalie provides
attackers with another obstacle to get around before they reach
their reward, but we want them to ever get that reward. |
Any advice
for aspiring goalies?
My advice for aspiring goalies would be not to get frustrated! It's
almost impossible to stop everything, so goals are going to happen.
Just breathe deep and get your eye on the ball. |
Quote
regarding the goalie position
Lacrosse is such a great game with many eye-opening and thrilling
plays occurring often. To be able to stand in the crease, make a
save and hear the crowd cheer is a great feeling. To know that you
can put a stop to an attacker's goal of scoring is a great rush.
That feeling keeps me going and wanting to be more and more successful
for my team that depends on me back there. |
