 PERSONAL STATEMENT
  
I'm a passionate athlete dedicated to the sport of lacrosse. I have a decade of lacrosse under my belt, from a local club player to a Varsity Lacrosse starter and a member of a competitive travel lacrosse program. 

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my versatility by excelling as a two-way midfielder, but settling down as an attackman. I love to demonstrate my strength by powerful dodges, looking for and completing assists and scoring in any fashion. Being able to shoot on the run, take stepdowns, and finish close to the crease provides a variety to my game that enhances the team's performance. 

One thing that has a lot of importance for me is fighting back for the ball during the ride. Both on and off the field, I strive to be the best leader I can be. To me, a leader is someone who leads by example, gives full effort all of the time, and is the best teammate they can be. With my commitment to this sport, I wish to represent lacrosse and my dedication in the best possible light. 

I am a Boy Scout that is going for my Eagle Rank and the lessons I learn here contribute to my on field abilities. Another thing I love doing is spending time with my family. My family is the most important thing to me and they have taught me so much. Being the person I am, I know what it takes to reach the level I want to achieve and I will do whatever it takes to reach that level.

TESTIMONIALS
Check out what former coaches and teammates have to say about me
     "I’ve had the pleasure of coaching Eljay on our Varsity high school team and have coached him on a few youth teams since he was nine years old. Eljay is a high-character, hard-working athlete. He is a skilled player who quickly picks up offensive schemes and understands spacing. He’s also a great leader and is always the first to congratulate a teammate. Eljay is a team-first type player, which he showed when we asked him to play at attack, a position he had never played before. The team needed a natural lefty on the wing, and Eljay embraced the change, exceeding our expectations and finishing in the top three in scoring as a freshman on varsity. It’s apparent that Eljay puts in work outside of practice. Every season he has shown up stronger, faster, and with a more refined set of dodges and shots. Having seen him consistently improve every year, I can say that Eljay is a high-caliber player with the dedication to realize his potential and be a valuable asset to any team."

"Eljay was a great contributor for our team last season and a key piece of our offense. At the beginning of the season I asked Eljay to make the switch from midfield to attack and he embraced the new role and excelled starting every game.  Eljay is one of the hardest working players on the field and works tirelessly to improve his game.  He is very receptive to feedback from coaches and applies that directly to his game.  For an underclassman, last year on Varsity he showed great leadership and poise both on and off the field.  Eljay would be a great addition to any program!"
