I'm not really

Why do
you play?
Tough question. I just can't imagine my life without playing. It's
become a part of me that I don't want to live without. |
Why are
you a goalie?
That's where I was put my first year playing and things just kept
getting better. |
How important
is the goalie position?
Without a doubt, goalie is the most important position on the field.
You're the only player that can see everything as it happens, and
you need to know the game inside and out. You also need to be a
leader on the team that anyone can turn to. |
Any advice
for aspiring goalies?
Practice, practice, practice. I am certainly not a gifted athlete,
but I am a good goalie because I work hard on my techniques and
other skills. Never give up either-you're going to get scored on,
sometimes more than you would like. But if you fall apart, so does
your team. Always stay confident, strong, and positive. |
Quote
regarding the goalie position
Not everyone can be a goalie. It takes just the right combination
of athleticism, personality, and courage. We are our own special
breed, and we are all a family. |
“ Giulia was the leader of our
defense this season. She was an effective communicator that organized
our defensive unit. Game after game she would come up with the big
save when needed. Her ability to accurately clear the ball long distances
made the transition game more effective. She will be greatly missed
as a member of the Susquehanna Lacrosse team. ”
