Because like , why , like , why would I never , why would I not do this ? Like it's just a no brainer . So I think advice for people um who are struggling is just be yourself like the coaches and the program that you're looking at want the same thing that you do , like you want a good school to go to and to have the right fit and they want the right fit and response like it's a two way street and I think if you're struggling just being the best you like talking about , like being honest and upfront about what you want out of a school and everything is going to work out how it's supposed to .

And I think that's been the best piece of advice that I've been able to utilize in school um in my college career . Some of the most important things that I've been able to hone in on um in my college career are just trying to stay focused , like using the tools that I learned growing up being focused in lacrosse and only having my focus in things that were a priority to me and that would benefit me in the future . So I think like being really focused on lacrosse and getting better in school grades are so important .

And I wanted to be just like the girls on TV and in college . So I think I would just take a minute to slow down and soak it all in and realize that everything is going to turn out how you wanted it too and the future is going to be just so awesome .

And I think just using your free time outside of lacrosse to be focused on academics because your school really does matter , your grades matter . Um So just prioritizing that in your free time and just like balancing your schedule out , schedule it on your Google calendar ahead of time . Like what you wanna do when and just like being as focused as you are in your sport in the classroom as well .
