Gabby — grade 12

I’ve played soccer basically for my whole life, but last year I took a turn and decided to play field hockey. Before preseason, the coach and some of the girls on the team tried convincing me to give it a try and I found myself on the field for the first day of tryouts. Not playing school soccer was sad, but I still play on an outside team so it’s not like I completely gave up the sport. I am a goalie in both soccer and lacrosse, and now in field hockey. I literally never picked up a stick before my last year, I truly was a beginner. Being that was my first year, holding a starting position on varsity was huge. I ended the season with a total of 33 saves and I’m pretty proud of that. I had a lot of my good friends on the team with me and it was really fun.
