Throughout my Lacrosse career and work experience thus far, I have had the opportunity to learn from great mentors. I have used the lessons to foster my own leadership growth. When working with the youth I learned patience and commitment are essential to build trust. While being part of a team I learned to foster strong relationships, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to bounce back from setbacks that occur. Most of all, I learned good leaders are also excellent listeners.
