But this year I've seen a huge difference in my comprehension of the game just utilizing film . So if you have it , use it any advice I would give to younger upcoming athletes , especially female athletes would be own your space . It can be challenging at times but find your voice , amplify it and hold your ground .
The biggest way in our sport , at least to be recruited are often at camps , clinics or tournaments . So anytime I was going to a competition , I would make sure to send my schedule , invite coaches to come watch me play all of those kinds of things , keeping coaches in the loop of what's going on , what accomplishments you've made are really , really important . So keep that line of communication open .
I love the town within embedded within the classrooms . So make sure that you love more than just what the sport in the school has to offer . Think about the community and the environment because you want to be in a happy environment .
So footwork , agility , speed of foot pace matching with your ball speed is really important . So off the field , when you're not working on skills , focusing on your speed and agility is crucial . I think a challenge that a lot of field hockey players experience in the US is that it unfortunately is a bit of an underdeveloped sport here overseas .
One of the biggest things that stand out to coaches and scouts would be the ability to pass the ball and distribute . I think that a lot of girls are mistaken in thinking that coaches are looking for an individual player that can beat everyone in the field , run all the way up the field all on their own and be a one man show . And really , that's not realistic in college when you get there .
